Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's decision, affirming that the complaint was filed within the limitation period specified in the repudiation clause of the insurance policy. The Court found that the final decision regarding the repudiation was communicated on July 28, 1994, and the complaint was made on August 6, 1994, thus falling within the permissible timeframe. The Court did not address the interpretation of Section 28 of the Contract Act, 1872, as it deemed the appeal without merit and dismissed it.
