Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined whether the doctrine of 'pay and recover' should have been applied by the High Court in an insurance claim case, where the insurance company was absolved of liability. The appellant argued that the insurance company should have paid the compensation first and recovered it later, citing relevant precedents. The Court analyzed the applicability of this doctrine in the context of the case, ultimately emphasizing the importance of the insurance company's liability and the procedural principles involved. The judgment clarified the legal position regarding the 'pay and recover' doctrine in insurance claims.
