Insurance Estoppel Under MV Act | Contradictory Stances on Vehicle Coverage Void MAC Award : Gauhati HC
Gauhati HC sets aside a Motor Accident Claims Tribunal award after the insurer took contradictory positions on coverage for the same vehicle in separate cases. The court ruled that estoppel principles bar insurers from denying liability after admitting it elsewhere, mandating fresh adjudication to prevent injustice to claimants.
