Section 149 MV Act | Insurer’s Recovery Rights Barred Without Precise Factual Proof of Invalid License : Madras HC

Madras High Court rules that an insurer cannot recover compensation paid to accident victims unless it conclusively proves the driver’s license was invalid at the time of the accident. The judgment underscores that recovery proceedings under Section 149 of the Motor Vehicles Act demand strict factual accuracy, not mere allegations, to deny insurer liability.
