Charge Sheet & Conviction Under Section 304-A IPC Suffice to Establish Negligence | Insurer Liable Despite FIR Error : Chhattisgarh HC
Chhattisgarh High Court rules that a conviction under Section 304-A IPC and a charge sheet naming the driver and vehicle conclusively prove negligence, binding the insurer to compensation even if the FIR initially cited an incorrect registration number. The judgment reinforces that procedural errors in FIRs do not absolve insurers of liability under the Motor Vehicles Act.
