Supreme Court reinstated joint liability of United India Insurance, directing payment of Rs 3,13,572 compensation to claimants in motor accident case.
Court ordered insurer to pay amount within three months, allowing recovery from vehicle owner, and excluded interest for 2388‑day filing delay.
Appeal stemmed from High Court’s exoneration of insurer; Supreme Court cited precedents (Bhagwandas, S. Iyyapan) to uphold compensation award.
