Indian Courts Uphold Insurance Claims Despite Insurer Denials on Technical Grounds
Two Indian courts ruled in favor of insurance claimants after insurers denied coverage based on technicalities. The Karnataka High Court upheld a Rs 2.85 lakh cancer treatment claim, stating hospitalisation is not mandatory if treatment is medically effective without it. Separately, an Ahmedabad consumer commission ordered New India Assurance to pay Rs 1.06 lakh plus interest after rejecting a stroke-related claim, ruling that the policyholder's vegetarian diet causing vitamin B12 deficiency was not a valid reason for denial.
