Motor Accident Compensation | Insurance Liability Maintained When Renewal Cheque Submitted Before Accident, Even If Policy Issued Post-Accident: Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court ruled that an insurance policy remains continuous if the renewal cheque is submitted before the accident, regardless of delayed issuance due to clerical delay. This protects claimants from insurer evasion tactics and reinforces that substantive conduct, not mere paperwork timing, determines coverage - a critical precedent for policyholders and claimants in motor accident cases.
