JAINA CONSTRUCTION COMPANY vs ORIENTAL INSURANCE COMPANY LIMITED

The Supreme Court addressed whether an insurance company can reject a claim for vehicle theft solely due to a delay in reporting the incident. The court emphasized that while timely notification is important, it should not be the sole reason for repudiation if the insured can demonstrate that the delay did not prejudice the insurer's ability to investigate the claim. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the claim for the insured vehicle.
