Insurer Company Can't Deny Liability Solely On Basis Of Incorrect Policy Number Furnished By Claimants: Jharkhand High Court

The Jharkhand High Court ruled that an insurance company cannot deny liability based on an incorrect policy number furnished by the claimants. The court held that if the identity of the insured and the validity of the insurance policy are otherwise established, a mere error in the policy number provided by the claimants should not be a ground for rejecting the claim, emphasizing a substance-over-form approach in insurance matters.
