ORDER

In terms of order passed by this Court on 11th July, 2022 in M.A. No.5672/2019 wherein this Court relying on the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of New India Insurance Company Limited Vs. Balkrishnan and another (2013) 1 SCC 731 has held that in case of a third party risk, liability of insurance company for the occupant of a private car is limited to the extent of coverage. When impugned award is examined in that light, then there is no error apparent on the face of record.

2. Accordingly, this miscellaneous appeal fails and is hereby dismissed.
