Section 185 MV Act | Mere Allegation of Alcohol Consumption Insufficient to Deny Motor Accident Compensation : MP HC Gwalior
The Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that insurers cannot deny compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act based solely on allegations of alcohol consumption by the rider or driver. The insurer must prove a violation of Section 185 (driving under influence) to absolve liability, reinforcing the burden of proof in motor accident claims.
