The Supreme Court addressed a complaint regarding a defect in a vehicle manufactured by Hyundai Motor India Limited, specifically concerning the non-deployment of airbags during an accident. The court examined the evidence, including an investigation report, and concluded that the failure of the airbags to deploy contributed to the injuries sustained by the complainant. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision in favor of the respondent, thereby holding the manufacturer liable for the defect.
