2. The contention of the petitioner is that he suffers monetary loss due to the injury and unable to meet out medical expenses.

3. Per contra, the learned counsel for the 1st respondent/Oriental insurance Company vehemently opposed this petition on the ground that it is a case where the tractor attached with trailer is involved. It is stated that the injured claimant was travelling in the mudguard of the tractor. Therefore, the Insurance company has to be exonerated from the liability.
