Read Judgment

The Madras High Court has made bumper to bumper insurance mandatory for all new vehicles for a period of five years to ensure the safety of the passengers, driver, and owner (The New India Assurance Co. Ltd. vs. K. Parvathi).

“When a buyer is ready to pay a huge amount for purchase of a vehicle, it is really shocking as to why the buyer is not interested in spending a paltry sum to take a policy so as to safeguard himself/herself and others," the Court said.
