Metal Powder Company Ltd vs Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd

The Supreme Court held that the exclusion clause in the insurance policy, specifically Clause 4.6, which excludes liability for loss arising from the insolvency of the vessel's owners, is valid and enforceable. The Court found that the abandonment of the ship due to financial difficulties falls within this exclusion, thus denying the plaintiff's claim for indemnity. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the High Court's reversal of the Trial Court's decree in favor of the plaintiff.
