car met accident while getting RC transferred
I had applied for transfer of registration certificate of the car that I had purchased in my name on May 24th, 2015. Unfortunately, my car met an accident on 28th, while the RC was in the process of getting transferred. I got the new RC with my name on May 29th(the next day after accident) and I got insurance transferred in my name on June 1st. Can I file claim with the insurance company to pay me for the expenses incurred to me for getting the car repaired?
I searched a lot on google but couldn't find any similar case. Please suggest. I hadn't informed my insurance company because I wasn't expecting them to accept my claim because the insurance wasn't in my name on the material date of accident. I was thinking of getting insurance transferred after receiving the RC and the accident happened even before I got the RC.

I also believed the same after going through a number of posts on different forums but today I came across this link: http://www.hindustantimes.com/chandi...1-1265896.aspx

This article made me re-think and I thought I might confirm my doubt. This case seems very much like that of mine and the consumer forum directed the insurance company to pay the compensation.
