Brij Bihari Gupta vs. Manmet & Ors. (2025 INSC 948) - The central legal question before the Supreme Court was to determine liability for a motor vehicle accident: should the insurer indemnify the registered owner when the vehicle's possession was transferred to another party via an agreement, but the registration was not changed?. The court's decision in this case clarifies the responsibilities of registered owners and insurers under the Motor Vehicle Act, especially when a vehicle's possession is transferred without a formal change in ownership.
