The Tata Aig General Insurance Co. Ltd vs Suraj Kumar

The Supreme Court examined whether an insurance company can be directed to provide prosthetic limbs and a motorized wheelchair, along with related services, beyond the scope of monetary indemnity. The High Court's order mandated non-monetary relief and ongoing maintenance, which the insurance company challenged. The Court considered the nature of insurance obligations and the extent of judicial intervention in such cases. Ultimately, the Court analyzed the limits of an insurer's liability, emphasizing that insurance primarily covers pecuniary compensation, not physical or rehabilitative services.
