Statutory Overriding Effect of Section 147(5) MVA over India Motor Tariff Regulations: The insurer argued that the policy was restricted to India because no additional premium was paid to extend coverage to Nepal under General Regulation 4 (GR.4) of the India Motor Tariff (IMT) 2002. Held, Section 147(5) of the MVA contains a potent non-obstante clause which imposes liability on the insurance company to indemnify the specified persons, overriding regulatory instruments like the IMT - Non-payment of the additional premium under GR.4 does not vitiate the valid permit or statutory coverage.
