The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, affirming the rejection of the appellant's claim for compensation under the 'Janta Gramin Vyaktigat Durghatna Policy'. The Court found that the loss of vision and hearing was not directly caused by the accident, as established by the Medical Board's report, which indicated that the appellant's condition was due to Phthisis Bulbi and not the accidental fall. The Court held that the insurance policy did not cover the appellant's injuries, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
