Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of a review petition regarding a motor accident claim, affirming that the insurance policy marked as Exh. R-1 limited the insurer's liability to Rs. 50,000. The Court emphasized that the appellant had a duty to produce relevant documents at the earliest stage and failed to do so, as the policy in question was always in their possession. The appeal was dismissed with costs of Rs. 5,000 awarded to the insurance company.
