Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. vs Rakesh Kumar & Ors. on 29 February, 2012
59. Since there was no willful breach of the condition of policy, in
view of the law laid down in Lehru & Ors. (supra) and Swaran
MAC APP 329/2010. Page 53 of 70
Singh (supra) the Insurance Company, therefore, cannot avoid
liability. As I have already quoted earlier, the Claims Tribunal
held that the first Appellant was not aware that the licence was
fake. It also held that the Insurance Company had not proved
on record that the owner was not aware that the driver did not
hold a valid driving licence at the time of the accident.
