Kamla Chaturvedi vs National Insurance Co. & Ors

The Supreme Court held that under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923, the Insurance Company is not liable to pay interest on compensation awarded unless explicitly stated in the contract. The Court distinguished the current case from New India Assurance Co. Ltd. v. Harshadbhai Amrutbhai Modhiya, affirming that the High Court's ruling, which denied the Insurance Company's liability for interest, was correct. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the High Court's decision.
