What if the car owner has claimed it from the insurance company for the damages then is it legal to demand the same from the other party? cant the driver deny to pay and demand of the owner and ask him to claim the same from insurance company?
Due to the rashness and negligence of the driver if damage is caused to another vehicle the owner of the latter can successfully sue him in the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal for compensation. If he has claimed it from insurance company, which has allowed his claim, he may reclaim that amount from the owner of the accident causing vehicle.

This can be treated as an accident. A criminal case can be booked for negligence but if nobody is injured or hurt, then an FIR for the incidence can be registered or insurance amount can be claimed for the damages to the car.

If the owner has already claimed insurance amount then he cannot claim any money from you. It will be illegal and can be considered as extortion, an offence under criminal law.
The driver can very refuse to pay any such amount claimed.
