Section 149 MV Act | Insurance Liability Survives Despite Dishonored Premium Cheque: Allahabad HC Mandates Compensation with 7% Interest

Allahabad HC rules that insurers remain liable for motor accident compensation even if the premium cheque is dishonored, provided the policy was issued. The court directed payment with 7% interest, reinforcing third-party protection under the Motor Vehicles Act and rejecting insurer attempts to evade liability on technical grounds.
