The Court noted that the appellant was liable for the damages incurred during the transportation of the helicopter, as the insurance policy covered such risks. The Court directed the appellant to pay enhanced compensation along with interest, emphasizing the importance of consumer rights and the duty of insurers to honor their commitments under the policy.
