M/S. Bajaj Alliance General Insurance ... vs Rambha Devi

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of insurance claims under the Motor Vehicles Act, specifically Section 147, which mandates that an insurer is liable to indemnify the insured for third-party liabilities. The Court established that the insurer cannot deny liability based on the absence of a valid driving license of the driver at the time of the accident, as it does not absolve the insurer from its statutory obligations. The appeal by Bajaj Alliance General Insurance Co. Ltd. was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision to uphold the claimants' entitlement to compensation.
