In Brief
A school filed a special leave petition challenging a High Court order that upheld the insurer's right to reject a claim due to breach of policy conditions. The Supreme Court held that once a condition of an insurance policy is breached, the insurer cannot be held liable. The Court endorsed its earlier judgments establishing this principle and disapproved a contrary decision from the Kerala High Court that had held insurers liable despite policy breaches. The petition was dismissed, affirming that breach of policy conditions absolves the insurer of all liability.
