Heard counsel for the parties. 4. Perusal of the award would show that the learned Claims Tribunal exonerated the Insurance Company and fastened liability with the owner-cum-driver of the offending vehicle. 5. The observation made in paragraph no. 9 of judgment dated 06.01.2026 passed in MAC No. 671 of 2021 by this Court, whereby the Insurance Company is directed to pay the enhanced amount of compensation is hereby deleted and the liability shall be on the “driver- cum-owner” of the offending vehicle to indemnify the award.

Accordingly, the review petition is disposed of. Sd/- (Rakesh Mohan Pandey) Judge vatti
