New Delhi, Jul 3: The Supreme Court has said insurance companies are not liable to pay compensation to the families of individuals who die as a result of their own rash and reckless driving.
\nA bench of Justices PS Narasimha and R Mahadevan refused to grant 80 lakh compensation sought by the wife, son and parents of a man who died while driving a car at high speed.
\nThe top court refused to interfere with the Karnataka High Court\u2019s order dated November 23 last year which had dismissed the plea filed by the deceased legal heirs claiming compensation.
\n\u201cWe are not inclined to interfere with the impugned judgment passed by the high court. Hence, the Special Leave Petition is dismissed,\u201d the bench said in an order passed on Wednesday.
\nOn June 18, 2014, one N S Ravisha was driving from Mallasandra village to Arasikere town when the accident took place. His father, sister and her children were travelling in the car.
\nThe court had found that Ravisha drove the car in a negligent manner without following traffic rules and lost control over the vehicle which toppled on the road. Ravisha sustained fatal injuries in the accident.
\nThe high court had held that because \u201cthe accident occurred due to the rash and negligent driving of the deceased himself and he being self tort-feasor, the legal heirs cannot claim any compensation for his death, otherwise it would amount to a person who committed breach getting the compensation for his own wrongs.\u201d<\/p>\n
