M/S UNITED INDIA INSURANCE CO. LTD. vs SUKH DEO YADAV

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, which dismissed the insurer's revision petition against the Jharkhand State Consumer Redressal Commission's order. The Court found that the insurer's claim of fraud and violation of insurance policy terms was not substantiated, as the District Forum had accepted the claimant's assertion that the vehicle was driven by Sanjeev Kumar, not Amitabh Singh, who lacked a valid driving license. The Court affirmed the compensation of Rs. 2,70,000 plus interest awarded to the claimant, emphasizing the evidentiary value of the District Forum's findings.
