Oriental Insurance Co. Limited vs Prithvi Raj

The Supreme Court addressed the repudiation of an insurance claim under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, specifically Section 149, which mandates insurers to satisfy judgments against insured persons for third-party risks. The Court held that the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission correctly found that the insurance claim should not have been denied despite the driver's license issues, as there was a valid renewal. The appeal by the insurance company was dismissed, affirming the Commission's decision to allow the claim.
