Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the rejection of an insurance claim by National Insurance Co. Ltd. was justified as the vehicle was being used as a taxi, contrary to the terms of the insurance policy which specified it was for personal use. The Court emphasized that the violation of policy conditions, specifically regarding the nature of use, warranted the repudiation of the claim. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the decisions of the lower forums that upheld the insurance company's stance.
