However, the Supreme Court has given a big decision in the vehicle transfer matter according to which it will be necessary for the insurance company to give a third party claim under any circumstances in the transfer of the vehicle.

The Apex Court, while overturning the Allahabad High Court's decision, has said that under the agreement, if a vehicle is hired from the owner of the vehicle, then along with the control of the vehicle, third party insurance is also transferred.

If an accident occurs with this vehicle after this, then the insurance company cannot escape from the responsibility of paying compensation to the victims.

As per the information, an increase in claim rejection cases by the insurance companies in second hand vehicle sales has been observed.
