Kulwant Singh & Ors vs Oriental Ins. Co. Ltd

The Supreme Court held that a driver possessing a valid driving licence for a light motor vehicle is authorized to drive a light goods vehicle, thus establishing that there is no breach of policy conditions for recovery rights by the Insurance Company. The Court referenced Section 2(21) and (23) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, clarifying that the definitions encompass both light passenger and light goods vehicles. The High Court's modification granting recovery rights to the Insurance Company was overturned, favoring the appellants, the vehicle owners.
