Iffco Tokio General Insurance Company ... vs Pearl Beverages Ltd.

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning an insurance claim repudiation due to alleged intoxication of the driver at the time of an accident. The NCDRC had ruled in favor of the respondent, stating insufficient evidence to prove the driver was intoxicated, thus reversing the State Commission's finding. The court upheld the NCDRC's decision, emphasizing the burden of proof on the insurer to establish the driver's intoxication to deny the claim.
