Quick Summary

The Supreme Court has overturned an order by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) that required Bajaj Allianz General Insurance to pay compensation for a damaged helicopter. The court ruled that the damage, which occurred after the helicopter was delivered to New Delhi and during its assembly, was outside the scope of the 'Transit Marine Insurance Policy'. The policy covered the helicopter during its transportation from Canada to Bhopal, but not subsequent storage, unpacking, or assembly.
