No insurance claim if vehicle is run without license

The Delhi High Court has said the insurance company would not be liable to pay damages to victims if the insured vehicle involved in a road accident is driven by a person without driving licence.

The court said that in such cases the owner would pay compensation to the road accident victim from his own pocket.

“Where it is established beyond doubt that the driver of the offending vehicle had no licence at the time of the accident, it will be responsibility of the owner to pay the damages and not the responsibility of the insurance company,” Justice S N Dhingra said.
