Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's decision, affirming that the repudiation clause in the insurance policy was not applicable as the complaint was filed within three months of the final decision communicated on 28.7.1994. The Court clarified that the interpretation of Section 28 of the Contract Act, 1872 was not necessary for this case, as the appellant's actions suggested ongoing consideration of the claim. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
