Gujarat HC Rejects Insurer's Claim That 33 Year Old Accident Was Murder, Says Investigating Officer's Report To Magistrate Not 'Gospel Truth'

The Gujarat High Court dismissed an insurer's claim that a motor accident was a murder, stating that the investigating officer's report was not absolute. The case involved a 33-year-old accident where the claimant sought compensation. The court emphasized that the criminal aspect of the incident could not overshadow the rightful claim for compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act. The ruling affirms the principle that victims should receive just compensation, regardless of the conclusions drawn from the investigation.
