Summary: New India Assurance Co. Ltd. v. Vimal Devi (C.A. 1578-1579/2004) The Supreme Court dismissed New India Assurance's appeals challenging the High Court's motor accident compensation order. The High Court had directed the insurer to pay the full compensation of Rs. 4,90,000/- (despite policy liability limited to Rs. 50,000/-) and recover excess from the vehicle owner, relying on the Avoidance Clause in the insurance policy. The Court upheld this direction, finding the clause permitted full payment to claimants with recovery from the insured. New India Assurance was directed to deposit the full compensation amount within two months if not already paid.
