    CASE SUMMARY: FAO/5649/2009 (Punjab & Haryana High Court) The High Court allowed appellant Baljit Singh's appeal against a Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's award that held him jointly and severally liable for compensation in a fatal vehicle accident (January 9, 2000). The court set aside the tribunal's liability determination, holding that only respondents Umed Singh and Inder Singh (the registered owners) are solely liable. Applying Supreme Court precedent (*Naveen Kumar v. Vijay Kumar*, 2018), the court ruled that under Motor Vehicles Act Section 2(30), the person whose name appears in official registration records—not the person in actual possession—bears liability for compensation, protecting accident victims from uncertainty.
