It is sad to<\/em> note that the Government itself is doing this unwarranted business only for the sake of raising revenue.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong><em><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u201c70% of the accidents are caused only because of either drunken driving or by intoxication.<\/span>\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the present case, the circumstances which led the Court to observe the above are, present appeal has been preferred by Transport Corporation against the judgment and decree of MACT. Tribunal had fixed the negligence on the part of the driver of the appellant Transport Corporation bus and awarded Rs 5,69,000 for legal heirs of deceased allegedly earning Rs 15,000 per month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Facts<\/strong> are that, the deceased was trying to cross the road when he was knocked down by the bus belonging to the appellant Transport Corporation, which was driven rash and negligently.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tribunal found that the accident was caused because of rash and negligent driving of the Transport Corporation bus. The award of Rs 5,60,000 granted by the tribunal was challenged in the Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Contentions<\/strong>, as presented by the counsel for appellant Mr Prabhakaran, was that, deceased emerged from TASMAC shop after taking liquor without noticing the traffic, he crossed the road and dashed himself against the bus. Therefore the accident was invited by a drunken man and therefore, no negligence could be fixed on the driver of the Transport Corporation, Further, Mr R Karunanidhi counsel for respondents supported the award and sought enhancement of compensation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong><em>\u201cHow liquor spoils many families and takes away precious lives of numerous persons is very well exhibited in this case.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High Court while concluding its decision stated that, no evidence was on record to show that the deceased was under the influence of alcohol. Also, nothing in the post-mortem certificate was present in regard to the presence of alcohol in the deceased\u2019s stomach. Tribunal had rightly relied upon the post-mortem certificate to show that the deceased was not under intoxication.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finding of the Tribunal is modified to the effect that the driver was negligent to the extent of 85% only.
