Insurance Claim Repudiation for Invalid Driving Licence Invalid | Delhi SCDRC Rules Deficiency in Service, Awards Rs. 23.6 Lakh : Delhi SCDRC

Delhi State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission holds that repudiating an insurance claim solely on grounds of an invalid driving licence constitutes deficiency in service under the Consumer Protection Act. The ruling underscores that insurers cannot evade liability without proving wilful misconduct or commercial use exception, awarding full claim value with interest and costs to the complainant.
