National Insurance Co. Ltd. vs Suresh Babu on 3 November, 2006
Honble National
Commission noticed three of its earlier judgments, i.e. National Insurance
Co. Ltd. & Anr. Vs. Suresh Babu & Anr., 1 (2007) CPJ 23 (NC), Naresh
Kumar vs. Reliance General Insurance Co. Ltd. & Anr., IV (2012) CPJ 493
(NC) and Santosh vs. National Insurance Co. Ltd., II (2008) CPJ 171 (NC),
wherein the claims had been held to be rightly repudiated on account of carrying
of more passengers, than the authorized limit, in goods carrying vehicles but
did not disagree with the same. Also the
Honble National Commission in a recent decision has upheld the repudiation of
claim, where a large number of persons in excess of the authorized limit were
travelling by the insured vehicle, at the time of accident.
