Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) which dismissed the Central Bank of India's revision petition as barred by limitation. The Court noted that the Bank was liable for not ensuring the insurance of the vehicle as per Section 146 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, which mandates insurance for vehicles. The Court found no sufficient grounds to condone the delay of 230 days in filing the revision petition, affirming the lower courts' rulings on the Bank's liability for the accident compensation awarded to the victim's family.
