The Supreme Court recently dismissed an appeal filed by an insurance company against an order of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission which allowed a claim.
The insurer had repudiated the claim on the ground that the driving license was not produced. However, the Surveyor's Report suggested that the driving license was burnt in the accident.
"Still, the Insurance Company insisted on producing the document, which was beyond the insured's control, " the Court noted.
The bench comprising Justices MR Shah and Aniruddha Bose dismissed the insurer's appeal against the orders of the District Forum and NCDRC.
"In the above facts and circumstances of the case, we find that no error has been committed by the District Forum as well as by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission [in short, "NCDRC"] in allowing the claim.
We see no reason to interfere with the impugned order passed by the NCDRC. The civil appeal is, accordingly, dismissed".
