Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's revision petition under Section 21(b) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, confirming that the driver of the vehicle had a valid driving license at the time of the accident. The Court established that the validity of the license for LMV-Transport was sufficient, despite the expiration of the HGV endorsement. The Court held that the repudiation of the insurance claim by New India Assurance Company Ltd. was unjustified, thereby reversing the decisions of the lower consumer forums.
