Case: Bharmaputra Biochem Private Limited Vs New India Assurance Company & Anr. 

Civil Appeal No. 6943 of 2021/ Decided February 21, 2022

These facts served as the basis for the appeal before the SC. The claimant or appellant was granted the right to submit a new complaint within 30 days. The insurance company was to be the “sole opposite party for pursuing reparation” while being granted freedom.
