The Oriental Insurance Cmpany Ltd. vs Smt. Tulsa And Others 7 on 17 June, 2022
11. Our view gets support from a recent decision of a three-Judge Bench of this Court in New India Assurance Co. Ltd. v. Asha Rani [(2003) 2 SCC 223 : 2003 SCC (Cri) 493 : (2002) 8 Supreme 594] in which it has been held that Satpal Singh case [(2000) 1 SCC 237 : 2000 SCC (Cri) 130] was not correctly decided. That being the position, the Tribunal and the High Court were not justified in holding that the insurer had the liability to satisfy the award."
