Cause of Action for Natural Calamity Compensation Accrues at Incident Time, Not Certificate Issuance : CGHC
Chhattisgarh High Court rules that compensation claims for deaths in a 2010 cloudburst must be adjudicated under the 2008 policy, as the cause of action crystallizes at the time of the incident, not when the certificate is issued. This precedent ensures timely policy application for disaster victims, preventing retrospective amendments from diluting entitlements.
