Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals against the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's judgment under Section 23 of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The Court held that the Insurance Company was liable to compensate the complainants for the losses incurred due to terrorist attacks on their properties, as the complainants had valid insurance policies covering the damages. The Court emphasized the obligation of the insurer to honor claims made under the policies, thereby reinforcing consumer rights under the Act.
