Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of insurance coverage under the Riot and Strike Endorsement in relation to a strike that led to damage of goods. The Court held that the loss incurred due to the strike was not covered under the policy as per Special Condition 5(i)(b), which excludes losses resulting from cessation of work. The judgment affirmed the insurance company's denial of the claim, emphasizing the specific exclusions outlined in the policy.
