Case History
Case Summary: C.A. No. 001452/2005 The Supreme Court dismissed New India Assurance's appeal on September 17, 2009, upholding compensation liability for a bus destroyed by fire. The respondent's comprehensively insured bus caught fire after a traffic accident in 1992 when villagers set it ablaze; the Court rejected the insurer's defense regarding the driver's fake license as irrelevant, holding the insurer liable under the fire insurance policy. No costs awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
