Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's dismissal of a revision petition under Section 21(b) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The Court held that while the driver had a valid driving license, the vehicle was being operated without valid registration, violating Section 39 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions that denied the insurance claim due to non-compliance with statutory requirements.
