Motor Vehicles Act | Insurance Companies Exonerated from Liability for Uninsured Passengers in Goods Vehicles : MP HC Overturns Pay-and-Recover Principle
The Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that insurance companies cannot be compelled to compensate uninsured passengers in goods vehicles, as the policy excludes such risk. The court set aside the 'pay-and-recover' order, reinforcing that liability rests solely with the vehicle owner and driver, not the insurer.
