Section 10(2) MV Act | LMV Licence Does Not Cover Motorcycle Riding; Insurance Claims Invalid for Statutory Non-Compliance : NCDRC

NCDRC rules that an LMV driving licence does not authorize motorcycle riding under Section 10(2) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, rendering insurance claims invalid if the driver lacks the appropriate licence class. The ruling underscores strict statutory compliance for third-party liability and personal accident claims, impacting insurers and claimants alike.
