Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the interpretation of 'impact' in Clause 5 of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, in relation to an insurance claim. The Court held that damage caused by the vibration from a bulldozer, while not a direct impact, could still fall under the coverage of the insurance policy. The Court ultimately upheld the decision of the National Commission, reducing the compensation amount to Rs.56,000, thereby affirming the interpretation of the insurance policy's terms.
