Motor Accident Claims–FIR–Delay in lodging–Effect on claim petition–Claimant was the eye-witness and he confirmed the involvement of vehicle in the witness box–Charge-sheet has been filed against the driver of insured vehicle–Claimant suffered bone injury in the spine and was hospitalized for about 30 days and was operated twice–It cannot be held that the FIR has been lodged falsely–Plea of Insurance Company was rightly negated by the Tribunal.
