Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition against the High Court's order which upheld the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's finding that the driver violated the insurance policy by using the vehicle for hire despite having a fake driving license. The Court noted that the High Court did not address the issue of policy violation, but both lower courts exercised discretion in favor of the claimant. The dismissal was made under Article 136 of the Constitution of India, affirming the lower courts' decisions without costs.
