Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of insurance claim denial based on the timing of premium payment. The court found that the premium was paid before the accident, and thus the insurance coverage should be honored despite the insurer's claim of late credit. The appeal was allowed, and the insurance company was directed to settle the claim in favor of the complainant.
