LAW FOR ALL

Accident claim - Temporary Registration - Not applied for permanent registration - meanwhile accident took place - Vehicle damaged - Claim for insurance - rejected - State & National commission also rejected - Apex court held that Nothing has been brought on record by the appellant to show that before or after 11.1.2006, when the period of temporary registration expired, the appellant, owner of the vehicle either applied for permanent registration as contemplated under Section 39 of the Act or made any application for extension of period as temporary registration on the ground of some special reasons. In our view, therefore, using a vehicle on the public road without any registration is not only an offence punishable under Section 192 of the Motor Vehicles Act but also a fundamental breach of the terms and conditions of policy contract. In the aforesaid premises, we do not find any infirmity in the order passed by the State Commission and the National Commission.= CIVIL APPEAL NO.8463 OF 2014 (Arising out of Special Leave Petition (Civil) No.26308 of 2013) Narinder Singh …Appellant (s) Versus New India Assurance Company Ltd. and others …Respondent(s) = 2014 - Sept.
