NEW INDIA ASSURANCE CO.LTD. vs YADU SAMBHAJI MORE .

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal under Article 133 concerning a motor accident claim arising from a petrol tanker explosion, where the insurer contested liability under Section 92A of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939. The Court held that the explosion was indeed an accident arising out of the use of the motor vehicle, thereby affirming the jurisdiction of the Claims Tribunal to entertain claims for no fault compensation. The Court reversed the High Court's dismissal of the claims, establishing that the insurer is liable for compensation under the relevant provisions of the Act.
