New India Assurance Co. Ltd vs Asha Rani & Ors on 17 August, 2001
This Court also noticed that
the decision to the contrary in New India Assurance Co. Vs.
Satpal Singh [(2000) 1 S.C.C. 237] was specifically overruled
in Asha Rani's case (supra). In other words, it was re-
emphasised that a policy in terms of Section 147 of the Act is
not intended to cover persons other than third parties.
