November vs Km. Priti & Others on 10 November, 2025
22. On issue No. 9 regarding validity of insurance
contract, although the car was insured in the name of
deceased Manohar Lal, the Tribunal held that the policy
was valid and in force from 26.12.2007 to 25.12.2008.
The insurer had accepted premiums and issued policy
documents; thus, it remained liable. The Tribunal
referred to Darshan Lal v. New India Insurance Co. (2004
(4) SC 164) but distinguished it, holding the insurance
company liable. Issue was decided against the insurer.
