General Assurance Society Ltd vs Chandumull Jain And Anr on 7 February, 1966
The endeavour of the court
must always be to interpret the words in which the contract is
7
expressed by the parties. The court while construing the terms
of policy is not expected to venture into extra liberalism that
may result in re-writing the contract or substituting the terms
which were not intended by the parties. The insured cannot
claim anything more than what is covered by the insurance
policy. [General Assurance Society Ltd. Vs. Chandumull Jain
