Claimant son met a road accident in the night hours when he was on a motorcycle and hit at the back of a Tractor and Trailor which was moving in the same direction without using tail lights.
Claimants son died on spot.
Claimant filed a MAC Case before the Tribunal.
The O.P. the insurance company of the tractor and trailer took the defense that the said vehicle was insured under 'Farmers Policy' and their third party liability against the said claim is limited to Rs. 25000 only which is very negligible.
The Hon'ble Tribunal has put the matter in the Lok Adalat. The insurance company needs some judgement of the Higher Courts regarding payment of claims under 'Farmers Package Policy' to settle the matter.
Please help.
