    Case Summary: FA/1250/2014 Court Decision: The High Court of Judicature at Bombay (Aurangabad Bench) dismissed New India Assurance Company's appeal, upholding the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal's award of Rs. 2,30,000 compensation with 7.5% interest to the claimants. Key Reasoning: The court found that the deceased was in employment with the vehicle owner (defendant no. 2) as a laborer, not a gratuitous passenger, making both the owner and insurer liable. The claimants proved employment through pleadings, witness testimony, and the defendant's written admission. Since the fatal accident occurred during employment while the dumper was being parked, the insurance company remained liable despite the vehicle being goods-transport, as proper care was required from the driver during the alighting process.
