Case History
Case Summary: United India Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Mahesh Chandra Arya Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed United India Insurance's Special Leave Petition on 08/07/2013, declining to interfere with the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's order awarding Rs. 2,90,000 compensation to respondent Mahesh Chandra Arya for death claims. While noting the dispute should have been entertained by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal under the Motor Vehicles Act rather than Consumer Forum, the Court refrained from interference given the non-exorbitant compensation amount and the petitioner's failure to earlier object to jurisdiction. Direction: The Court observed that insurance companies remain at liberty to raise jurisdictional objections in future cases where motor compensation claims are entertained by Consumer Forums. Delay in filing was condoned. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
