Ram Chandra Singh vs Rajaram

The Supreme Court held that the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal's finding that the insurer was not liable due to the driver's fake licence was erroneous. The Court emphasized that the owner of the vehicle must be shown to have knowledge of the fake licence for liability to shift from the insurer. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's dismissal, and the insurer was held liable to pay compensation, with the right to recover from the vehicle owner and driver.
