Fraudulent Insurance Policy | Backdated Motor Vehicle Policy Nullifies Insurer Liability Even After MACT Award : Gauhati HC
Gauhati High Court rules that a motor insurance policy issued after the accident date but backdated is fraudulent and void ab initio, absolving the insurer of liability. The ruling underscores that claimants must recover compensation directly from the vehicle owner, not the insurer, regardless of a prior MACT award.
