Respondent 5 denied his liability on the ground that he had ceased to be the owner of the scooter much prior to the accident. This petition was opposed by the Insurance Company on two grounds (a) that the deceased was a pillion rider and the insurance policy did not cover the liability towards a pillion rider and (b) that, although, the original insurer, Respondent 5 had sold the scooter to Respondent 1 before the accident, neither was any intimation of such sale given, nor was the insurance policy got transferred in favour of Respondent 1. Respondents 2 to 4 being the legal heirs (wife and minor daughters) of the deceased Rajinder Singh moved an application under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 seeking compensation for the death of the deceased Rajinder Singh. On 31-10-1989 one Rajinder Singh, who was riding as a pillion rider while the scooter was being driven by Respondent 1, died as a result of an accident. With effect from 1-7-1989 the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939 (hereinafter referred to as “the 1939 Act”) was repealed and the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (hereinafter referred to as “the 1988 Act”) came into force.

It is also an admitted position that the registration certificate of the scooter was transferred in the name of Tilak Raj but no notice thereto was given by the transferor, Respondent 5 to the appellant Insurance Company for transfer of the insurance policy and the insurance certificate in the name of the transferee i.e Respondent 1. On 23-3-1989 the scooter was admittedly sold by Respondent 5 to Respondent 1 Tilak Raj. The insurance policy covering the scooter of Respondent 5 did not contain an endorsement of IMT 70.ģ. For covering liability to pillion passengers endorsement of IMT 70 pertaining to accident to unnamed hirer/driver/pillion passenger, is required on the insurance policy, which may be obtained by payment of additional premium. Respondent 5 Bal Krishan had insured his scooter with the appellant Insurance Company for the period 7-3-1989 to 6-3-1990.
