The Supreme Court of India ordered the CMD of National Insurance Company be made an accused in a forged policy probe and directed SIT formation. The Court termed the insurer’s inaction a “brutal lack of responsibility,” urging stricter vigilance and accountability in public money matters.
The Supreme Court has referred to a larger bench the question of whether insurance companies must pay no-fault compensation under Section 163A of the MV Act for the vehicle owner’s death, even without a third-party claim. The case arose from a minor’s plea after losing her parents in a solo accident.
