Case History
Case Summary: C.A. No. 006940/2004 Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed A.P. Khadi & Village Industries Board's appeal against United India Insurance Co. Ltd., upholding the insurance company's repudiation of a riot-damage claim. The Court found the appellant was not covered by a valid policy when rioting damaged its Hyderabad showroom on September 9, 1984, since the renewal premium cheque was only received by the insurer on September 27, 1984—after the loss occurred. The Court rejected the appellant's argument that insurance inspection on September 10, 1984 constituted assumption of risk under Section 64VB of the Insurance Act, finding no evidence the insurer consciously assumed risk. No costs awarded due to respondent's non-appearance. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
