Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal under Section 12 of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, concerning a dispute over insurance claims for damages to a bus. The Court held that the insurance company was liable to pay the assessed damages as the appellant had provided sufficient evidence of expenses incurred for repairs, despite the insurer's claims of fabricated receipts. The Court emphasized the importance of consumer rights and the obligation of insurers to honor valid claims, ultimately ruling in favor of the appellant.
