IRDA/NL/NTFN/MOTP/066/04/2011 – By virtue of the power vested in the Authority under Section 14(2) (i) of the IRDA Act, 1999, it is hereby notified that with effect from 25.04.2011, the rates of premium applicable to Motor Third Party Liability Insurance business shall be as set out in Annexure-I to this notification. The Authority has noted that Motor Third Party premiums were revised in the past at 4/5 year intervals. Such long intervals between rate revisions cast an avoidable strain on policyholders as well as on the insurance companies. Premiums need to be reviewed regularly depending upon the average claims which have been awarded by the various courts, frequency of claims for each class of vehicle and inflation amongst other factors. During the consultation process, certain stakeholders had also suggested that an annual review would ease the burden of adjusting to changes in premia consequent to changes in these financial parameters.

Rallis India Ltd. Vs. Poduru Vidya Bhusan & Ors. (Supreme Court) – When partners of a firm issue cheques which are dishonoured, it is presumed that they were responsible for issuing them unless they prove that they were not in charge of the daily affairs of the firm. They have to discharge the burden during the trial under the Negotiable Instruments Act, the Supreme Court stated in the case, Rallis India Ltd vs Poduru Vidya. In this case, the company filed criminal complaints against three partners. They denied responsibility arguing that they had resigned before the date of the cheques. The Andhra Pradesh accepted their plea and quashed the criminal cases against them. Rallis appealed to the Supreme Court. It set aside the high court judgement and stated that the partners’ denial of responsibility and their status at the time of the issuance of cheques must be tested during the trial. The complaint against them could not be quashed by the high court using its discretionary power.
