the green signal was crossing the said green signal but the

respondent no.1 who had been driving the offending

vehicle / Maruti WagonR Car bearing Registration No. DL

9C N 4360 in a very rash and negligent manner, came

from opposite direction of the petitioner and all of a sudden

took right turn, though there was a Red Light on the side of

the respondent but the respondent jumped the Red Light


and hit the petitioner, whereas the petitioner was crossing

the road in Green Signal. It is submitted that the Impact

were separated. It is submitted that thereafter, with the
