New India Assurance Company Limited vs Sandepudi Mariyamma And Ors. on 13 February, 2003
10. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the
vehicle was not being used for agricultural purpose against
the policy terms and hence, the insurance company is not
liable to pay any compensation. Learned counsel has relied
upon a decision reported in New India Assurance Company
Limited, Ongole Vs. Sandepudi Mariyamma and others1.
He submits that when mud was being transported and the
accident took place in the agricultural field, it cannot be said
that it was not for agricultural purpose and the decision
relied upon is relating to carrying of Napa slabs in a vehicle
to be used for agricultural purpose and hence the
observations made therein are not applicable to the present
case.
