Section 146 Motor Vehicles Act | Insurer Cannot Escape Third-Party Liability for Unfit Vehicle : Chhattisgarh HC
Chhattisgarh High Court rules that insurers remain liable to compensate third-party victims even if the vehicle lacked a valid fitness certificate. The court allowed insurers to recover the amount from the owner/driver but capped future prospects at 40% for self-employed victims under 40, reinforcing statutory protection for accident victims.
