Jawahar Singh Vs. Bala Jain & Ors. (Supreme Court – 09.05.2011) The Supreme Court has stated that it is the duty of the owner of a motor vehicle to ensure that it was not misused. Therefore, he would be liable to pay compensation for the accident if the vehicle is driven by a minor. The owner was asked to pay Rs 8 lakh to the family of a man who died in a road mishap in this case, Jawahar Singh vs Bala Jain. The court rejected the plea of the owner that the minor, who is his nephew, had taken away the key of the motorcycle without his knowledge and as such he cannot be held responsible. “We cannot shut our eyes to the fact that it was the minor, who came on the motorcycle and hit the scooter of the deceased from behind. The responsibility of causing the accident was, therefore, found to be solely that of the minor.
The Supreme Court last week set aside the judgment of the Gujarat high court and directed the sale of a wound-up company in Veraval at a higher price so that creditors will get their dues. The company judge had first ordered the sale at a one price, but recalled its order when a higher offer was made by another party. However, when one of the losing bidders moved the division bench of the high court, it confirmed the sale at the earlier price on the ground that a confirmed auction sale cannot be set aside merely because subsequently a higher price was offered by one of the bidders.
