Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, affirming that the insurance claim for damages to a vehicle was valid despite the policy being in the name of a previous owner, Smt. Roopa Sharma. The Court emphasized that the insurance coverage was applicable to the vehicle regardless of ownership transfer, as the necessary documentation was provided. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the liability of the insurance company to compensate for the damages claimed.
