This query is : Resolved
Is there any authority/ judgement of any court which covers the cases wherein the following proposition falls:-
one accident took place and the driver of the govt bus was booked in the matter and facing trial and his DL was seized and attached in the judicial file thereafter another accident took place by the same driver but this time the DL has already expired but later on the same was got renewed but after the expiry of one month's grace period.
is there any authority which cover this case and saves the driver from his liability to pay compensation to the claimants.
Please mail the same to me if any on the point at my mail address "adv.p.c.rana@gmail.com" or "advocatepcrana@gmail.com" at the earliest.

i think this citation ' National Insurance co. Ltd. Vs. Santro Devi and others reported in 1997 (9) Judgements Today, at page No. 197 AR 1998 SC 1485 ' was over-ruled due to subsequent judgements of ' no valid driving license'

yes the case can be No valid licence as the driver ddi not have valid licence at the time of 2nd accident. Also when his DL was seized after 1 st accident how can he drive lawfully and do the 2 nd accident. please check circumstances of case.
