MAHAMOODA . vs UNITED INDIA INSURANCE CO. LTD. . — C.A. No. 6209/2004

Summary of C.A. No. 006209 / 2004 The Supreme Court allowed Mahamooda's appeal against United India Insurance Co. Ltd., overturning the High Court's reliance on the Mandar case which had absolved the insurer of liability when a learner's licence holder drove the vehicle. The Court found that the National Insurance Co. vs. Swaran Singh case had distinguished Mandar's case, establishing that insurers remain liable even when vehicles are driven by learner's licence holders. The claimants are entitled to the originally deposited award amount without additional interest; if the insurer had withdrawn it, redeposit is required within four weeks.
