Insurer must cover compensation for accident involving relief vehicle, rules Karnataka high court

Bengaluru: Karnataka high court has ruled that the insurance company must cover compensation for an accident involving a relief or spare vehicle used following the breakdown of a scheduled bus. The court stated that such use doesn't constitute a fundamental breach of permit conditions exempting the insurer from liability. The court's decision came after it allowed appeals filed by two victims and the bus owner in connection with an accident that occurred on Jan 21, 2014. At approximately 11.45am, Ganesh and Basavaraj were travelling on a motorcycle from Mudur to Haveri. Near the sugar factory in Sangur village, a high-speed private bus collided with the motorcycle, causing both riders to fall and sustain grievous injuries. The duo subsequently filed petitions seeking compensation. On Jan 24, 2017, the motor accident claims tribunal in Haveri awarded compensation, placing liability on the bus owner, KM Altaf Hussain, on the grounds that the bus had deviated from its permitted route, violating permit conditions. Ganesh received Rs 3,71,030, and Basavaraj was awarded Rs 1,27,250. The claimants appealed for increased compensation, while Altaf appealed, arguing that the insurance company should settle the compensation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Skype Phone Alternative Undo He contended that although the bus had a permit only from Shivamogga to Hangal, it travelled beyond Hangal to Haveri and was being used as a relief vehicle when the accident occurred. Justice Hanchate Sanjeevkumar, after reviewing the materials on record, noted that the vehicle was employed as a relief vehicle under compelling circumstances, which did not amount to a fundamental breach of conditions. He determined that the tribunal had erred by not exempting the case as per Rule 57 of the Karnataka Motor Vehicles Rules 1989, given the route deviation was under compelling circumstances. Allowing the claimants' appeals, the judge also increased the compensation payable to Ganesh to Rs 7,15,550, considering the severity of his injuries. It awarded Basavaraj Rs 2,24,810. The compensation must be paid by United Insurance Company Limited, the insurer of the vehicle.

Advance direct tax collections from the first installment in the current financial year 2025-26 grew by 3.87 per cent to Rs 1.56 lakh crore as on June 19 this year, slower than the growth of 27.34 per cent seen in the same period a year ago, data released Saturday by the Income Tax Department showed. While advance tax collections during April 1-June 19 for corporate tax grew 5.86 per cent to Rs 1.22 lakh crore, personal income tax or non-corporate tax collections recorded a slowdown, with advance collections falling by 2.68 per cent to Rs 33,928.32 crore.

The slower growth in advance tax collections for personal income tax seems to be more pronounced, a possible indication of the impact of the income tax cuts undertaken in the Budget as well as slowing income growth.

The advance tax has to be paid in four installments during the year. The first installment has to be paid on or before June 15 with payment of not less than 15 per cent of the advance tax. The second installment has to be paid on or before September 15 with 45 per cent advance tax as reduced by the amount paid in the earlier installment. The third installment requires 75 per cent to be paid on or before December 15, followed by 100 per cent payment on or before March 15. Overall, growth in net direct tax collections so far until June 19 also slipped into negative territory, declining 1.39 per cent to Rs 4.59 lakh crore from Rs 4.65 lakh crore in the corresponding period of the previous financial year. The net collections were lower as refunds increased by 58 per cent to Rs 86,385 crore until June 19 this year. Gross direct tax collections, however, rose 4.86 per cent to Rs 5.45 lakh crore this fiscal. Net corporate tax collections slowed to Rs 1.73 lakh crore, down 5.13 per cent from the year-ago period. Personal income tax or non-corporate tax collections increased marginally by 0.7 per cent to Rs 2.73 lakh crore. Securities Transaction Tax (STT) increased by 12 per cent to Rs 13,013 crore during the period.
