https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=218677 Liability for injuries to an occupant in a private car depends on whether the insurance cover is only an Act policy or a comprehensive/package policy. The Motor Vehicles Act requires compulsory third-party insurance, but the text distinguishes Act policies from package policies and notes that earlier exclusions for persons not covered by the statutory policy apply to Act policies. It further states that regulatory circulars indicate a comprehensive/package policy covers occupants in a private car, so liability turns on the actual policy wording. The finding fastening liability on the insurer was set aside and the matter remitted for fresh examination of the policy terms and additional evidence if needed. en-us Tue, 20 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 20:38:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=218677 Liability for injuries to an occupant in a private car depends on whether the insurance cover is only an Act policy or a comprehensive/package policy.
