    Case Summary: LILABEN RAMUBHAI VAGHRI v. GOPALBHAI MANGABHAI VAGHRI & ORS (M.A.C.P. 264/2021) Court Decision: The tribunal awarded Rs.3,60,056 compensation to the claimant but held the motorcycle owner liable instead of the tempo driver, finding the FIR was deliberately false and the actual rider lacked a valid driving license, constituting breach of insurance policy conditions. Key Reasoning: Evidence from eyewitnesses conclusively established that the accident occurred solely due to the motorcycle rider's negligence (sudden braking causing skid), not the tempo driver's conduct. The complainant admitted falsely naming the tempo driver in the FIR to conceal that unlicensed rider Naginbhai was actually driving. The insurance company was exonerated due to fundamental policy breach; the registered owner became liable as vicariously responsible for entrusting vehicle to an unlicensed driver.
