As per case facts, an accident occurred where a Maruti Alto, driven by Rohit Arora, carrying the deceased Akash, collided with a truck while attempting to overtake another car at ... high speed, swerving to avoid an oncoming bus. The insurance company appealed an award, arguing there was no negligence by the Alto driver and that the accident was caused by a truck's stepney tire detaching. The parents of the deceased claimed the driver's negligence. The question arose whether the driver of the Maruti Alto was negligent in causing the accident and if the lack of a registered FIR impacted the validity of the compensation claim. Finally, the court found the testimony of the eyewitness credible and the driver's explanation of a detached stepney lacking credibility. It upheld the presumption of negligence on the part of the vehicle behind failing to maintain sufficient distance, particularly given the driver's attempt to overtake at high speed with oncoming traffic and a thin divider. The absence of an FIR was deemed not material, as the factum of the accident, its circumstances, and the driver's negligence were sufficiently proven. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the compensation award.
