NEW DELHI: Overloading of a vehicle cannot be the sole ground for an
insurance company to reject claims for damages caused to the vehicle in a
road accident, the Supreme Court has ruled while quashing National
Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission(NCDRC)'s order that loss caused
to overloaded vehicle wont be compensated.
A bench of Chief Justice T S Thakur and V Gopala Gowda held that carrying more passengers than the permitted seating capacity in a insured vehicle does not amount to a fundamental breach of the terms and conditions of the policy and the insurance company could not eschew its liability towards the damage caused to the vehicle.
It said that the insurance company had to prove that the accident was caused because of the overloading to escape the liability of paying claims. The bench directed the insurance company to reimburse claim to the damages caused to a goods-carrying vehicle travelling with five passengers while seating capacity of the vehicle was only two including driver
