M V SUBRAMANYA vs M/S.NEW INDIA ASSURANCE CO — C.A. No. 831/1997

Summary of CA No. 831/1997 (M.V. Subramanya v. New India Assurance Co.) The Supreme Court dismissed M.V. Subramanya's appeal challenging the High Court's dismissal of his review petition in a motor accident insurance claim case. The appellant had consented to an insurance policy being marked as evidence before the tribunal, which limited the insurer's liability to Rs. 50,000. He later attempted to introduce a different policy without liability restrictions in the review petition, which the High Court correctly rejected. The Court held that parties must produce relevant documents at the earliest stage; producing a new policy for the first time in review proceedings is not valid grounds for review. The appeal was dismissed with costs of Rs. 5,000 payable to the Insurance Company. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
