What happened
The Gujarat High Court dismissed an appeal filed by SBI General Insurance Company Company challenging a compensation order from a Motor Accident Claims Tribunal. The court held that an insurance company cannot avoid liability to third-party claimants in a motor accident claim simply by asserting that the insurance policy was forged or fabricated, unless adequate evidence proves otherwise.
