M/S THE NEW INDIA ASSURANCE CO. LTD. vs SHASHIKALA J. AYACHI

The Supreme Court upheld the order of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission directing the insurance company to pay the sum assured under a Marine Insurance Policy. The court found that the insurer's repudiation of the claim was unjustified, as the evidence did not support the claims of illegal activities or adverse weather conditions at the time of the incident. Consequently, the appeal by the insurance company was dismissed, affirming the consumer's right to compensation.
