Case Summary: National Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Anjana Shyam (2007) The Supreme Court held that an insurance company's liability is limited to the number of passengers for which insurance was mandatorily taken under Motor Vehicles Act Section 147, even when a bus is overloaded. The bus was insured for 42 passengers but carried 90 during the accident that killed 26 and injured 63. The Court ruled the insurer must pay the highest 42 awards (in descending order) totaling from those awards, with injured parties recovering the balance from the vehicle owner.
