Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the repudiation of fire insurance claims under two policies by the National Insurance Company Ltd. The Court held that the repudiation was unjustified as the insured had complied with the policy terms, and the loss was covered under the insurance. The Court emphasized the principle of good faith in insurance contracts and ruled in favor of Polymat India Pvt. Ltd., directing the insurance company to settle the claims.
