Even if renewed after a gap, vehicle permit valid from day of expiry: HC
Wednesday, 25 October 2023 Renewal of a vehicle permit is permissible under the Motor Vehicles Act and is sufficient to fix liability on the insurer, the Dharwad bench of the Karnataka high court observed in a recent order while dismissing an appeal filed by New India Assurance Company Limited. The insurer sought absolution from its liability to pay a compensation of Rs 21,15,600 with 6% interest to the family members of PT Ramesh, who was killed in an MV accident on November 19, 2020, as the offending vehicle (a lorry) did not possess a valid and effective permit. The permit had expired on April 18, 2020.

Bengaluru's ongoing monsoon has severely waterlogged at least 180 prominent roads, including key areas near Hebbal Circle and the Outer Ring Road (ORR). Despite previous warnings, including a fatal incident at the KR Circle underpass, municipal authorities have failed to address the issue. Ongoing construction projects, pothole-ridden roads, and poor drainage maintenance contribute to the problem. The situation has led to traffic chaos, vehicle damage, and safety hazards across the city.
