NEW INDIA ASSURANCE CO., SHIMLA vs KAMLA .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether a fake driving licence, renewed by statutory authorities, can legally validate the original document. The Court held that the Insurance Company is not liable for compensation in a motor accident if the driver holds a forged licence, as this constitutes a breach of policy conditions under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The judgment emphasized that the authenticity of the driving licence is crucial for establishing liability in insurance claims related to motor accidents.
