    Case Summary: CAF/1798/2013 The Bombay High Court dismissed New India Assurance Co. Ltd.'s appeal against the Tribunal's compensation order of Rs. 4,03,474/- awarded to dependents of Navnath Kardile, who died in a 2009 motorcycle-taxi accident. The insurer argued the taxi violated its permit by operating 90 km from Shahapur when restricted to 32 km, breaching policy conditions. However, the court upheld the Tribunal's finding that the 32 km restriction applied only to auto-rickshaws, not taxis, based on documentary evidence. The court held that third parties cannot be penalized for policy breaches and the insurer may recover from the vehicle owner separately.
