The Madras High Court has withdrawn directing the State government to ensure that all new motor vehicles get bumper-to-bumper insurance cover along with coverage for the driver, owner, passengers and third parties for a period of five years. Justice S. Vaidyanathan withdrew his order after the Insurance Development Regulatory Authority (IRDA), General Insurance Council (GIC) and Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) said it might not be logistically and economically feasible for effective implementation in the present legal dispensation.
