Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the dismissal of the appellant's complaint by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission regarding the denial of an overseas mediclaim policy. The court found that the insurer had assured the appellant of policy issuance based on a medical examination that did not reveal any significant health issues apart from diabetes. The judgment emphasized the need for insurers to honor their commitments and provide clarity in policy issuance based on medical assessments.
