Court :
Supreme Court of India
Brief :
This is a landmark judgement of the Apex Court in which it was held that the owner of the vehicle is expected to verify the driving skills and not run to the licensing authority to verify the genuineness of the driving license before appointing a driver. Therefore, once the owner is satisfied that the driver is competent to drive the vehicle, it is not expected from the owner thereafter to verify the genuineness of the driving license issued to the driver. This will resolve various cases ,since it is a tool in the hand of insurance companies that Driving License submitted by not genuine and insurance company generally repudiates the claim on that basis.
