It further ruled that the insurance company is not liable to disburse personal accident insurance if the person’s driving license wasn’t valid at the time of the accident.
This ruling comes after a person named Chandrashekhar Shetty (48) hailing from Kalthodu village in Byndoor died on the spot, after hitting his car to a roadside tree as a wild boar suddenly crossed his path.
