SURENDRA KUMAR BHILAWE vs THE NEW INDIA ASSURANCE COMPANY LTD.

The Supreme Court overturned the National Consumers Disputes Redressal Commission's decision that had set aside the District Forum's ruling in favor of the appellant, Surendra Kumar Bhilawe. The court found that the insurer's denial of the claim was unjustified as the accident occurred during the policy's coverage period. The judgment reinstated the District Forum's order, affirming the appellant's right to compensation under the insurance policy.
