M/S. United India Insurance Co. Ltd vs Davinder Singh

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of liability of an insurance company when a vehicle is driven by a person with a forged driving license. The Court held that the renewal of a forged license does not absolve the insurance company from liability, as the owner had verified the driver's license and had no knowledge of its invalidity. The Court upheld the decision of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, affirming the compensation awarded for deficiency in service under Section 12 of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986.
