SURESH KUMAR vs UNITED INDIA INSURANCE CO.LTD. — C.A. No. 4504/2010

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Suresh Kumar's appeal against United India Insurance Co. Ltd. on 17 August 2021. Kumar's insured truck was stolen in 2000 and recovered with missing and damaged parts; he claimed Rs. 3,00,000 in damages, but the insurance company's surveyor assessed the loss at Rs. 93,504. The Court upheld the State Commission's order, finding Kumar merely produced bills for parts purchased without proving they were actually used in the truck, and mere purchase of parts was insufficient evidence. The Court ordered the insurance company to pay the difference between Rs. 93,504 and Rs. 73,344 (already paid) with 9% per annum interest within two months, plus Rs. 1,500 costs.
