THURSDAY, THE EIGHTEENTH DAY OF NOVEMBER, TWO THOUSAND TWENTY ONE.

Order:

1. This is a complaint filed by the Complainant under Section 17(1)a)i) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 praying to direct the Opposite part no.11:
i) To pay an amount of Rs.93,69,088/- along with future interest @ 18% p.a. from the date of filing of the complaint 2
ii) To pay Rs.5,00,000 /- towards compensation/damages for the dereliction of duty , negligence and deficiency in providing the service;
ii) To award costs of Rs.50,000/- towards legal expenses incurred

2. The brief facts of the case are as follows:

The complainant is a partnership firm and is in the business of manufacturing of Polyester Film/BOPP Film and has been availing the services of the 1st opposite party since 2003. insured vide They are policy no.051103/11/11/11/00001528 for the period from 21.01.2012 to 20.1.2013. It is submitted that on 23.3.2012 at about 12.30 p.m. a fire mishap occurred which unfortunately lead to the destruction of the shed and lot of stocks. FIR.No.124/2012 was immediately filed with Shadnagar P.S. on 24.3.2012 and after due investigation it was confirmed that the fire accident at the complainant's premises was due to electric short circuit. This was further confirmed by Asst. Divisional Engineer (Operation) Shadnagar employed with Andhra Pradesh Central Power Distribution Company.

The complainant reported about the said fire accident to opposite party no.1 who immediately sent opposite party no.2 a Surveyor to assess the loss and damage. The preliminary assessment was well over Rs.50 lakhs and since this beyond his was surveying jurisdictional capacity, he withdrew from the detailed survey. Soon after, opposite party no.1 requested the services of opposite partyno.3 who visited the accident premises and placed an estimate of insurable loss and damage at Rs.65,91,678/-

Since then the complainant has been diligently following up with opposite parties 1 & 3 about the claim and payment. Innumerable letters have been provided as documentation for disbursal of the claim. To his shock and surprise the complainant received a Discharge Voucher dt.2.12.2013 from opposite party no.1 baldly informing the complainant without any supporting annexures or documentation that the competent authority had approved the claim for full and final settlement for Rs.32,17,779/-.

The complainant submits that he has clearly submitted detailed assessment documents where the loss is quantified to be about Rs.93,69,088/- and he has been diligently following up with numerous letters about speedy settlement. The present complaint is filed against the opposite parties for their deficiency in having put the complainant to financial and material hardship and severe mental agony.

3. Opposite party no.1 - United India Insurance Co. Ltd. filed their written version submitting that they had issued the policy to the complainant which was valid from 21.1.2012 to 20.1.2013. The policy contains agreed bank clause with M/s.Andhra Bank. But M/s.Andhra Bank is not made party to know the exact details of furnishing stock statement periodically. As per the documents filed by the complainant, the date of accident is 23.3.2012 and the complaint was lodged on 24.3.2012 at about 8 a.m. This is an after thought and the complainant has given exaggerated information with regard to the details of loss. Reference is made to the documents in page nos.18 & 19 (Document no.7) which does not bear any stamp of authority. They submit that the complainant assessed the loss by showing alleged purchases made by him on 21.3.2012 and 22.3.2012 which they doubt for the reason that 23.3.2012 was a holiday being Ugadi.

It is their contention that the surveyor had sought for certain documents from the complainant vide letter dt.17.6.2013, but the complainant failed to submit the same. The opposite party intimated the complainant through letter dt.19.8.2013 that the loss assessed by the surveyor appears to be on the higher side and therefore it will be arrived by a competent authority. On 2.12.2013 this opposite party offered an amount ofRs.32,17,779/- in full and final settlement of the claim and requested the complainant to execute the necessary discharge voucher and affidavit. The complainant did not return the same and approached this Commission without any basis. With these submissions they pray that the Commission may be pleased to dismiss the complaint.

4. Written version filed by the opposite party no.2 raises some very pertinent issues. It is submitted that this opposite party after due verification of the produced bills, information furnished to the bank every month, sales invoices and purchase invoices of the previous 35 months, observed that the average monthly purchases of the complainant company was to the tune of Rs.27,54,514/- and the monthly sales was around Rs.34,66,796/-. It can be concluded that the complainant's average monthly sales would be around Rs.35 lakhs. For maximum daily sales of Rs.2 lakhs a prudent business man would normally keep reasonable stock value of Rs.10 lakhs. So this opposite party and the auditors opine that the are inclined to complainant has not explained the necessity of keeping unreasonable stock appearing in the books though his regular average day sales was around Rs.1,00,000/-. The investigation of the opposite party reveal that the entire machinery hall is used for 4 purposes. The hall is divided though not separated by wall based on their purpose of utilization. Part-A the raw material is stored and no loss caused. Two days input of stocks was was shown under 3 bills and except the invoices the insured/complainant , was 4 unable to provide any documentary evidence of lorry trip confirming the physicalmovement of the stock.

Finally it is submitted that if comparison is made with the previous years balance sheet as on date of fire accident i.e. 23.3.2012, the value of stock in process and finished goods shall not exceed Rs.26,66,968/-. Basing on this report, the opposite party settled the claim of the complainant and hence the complaint is liable to be dismissed on the crucial aspect of maintenance of the dispute.

3. Evidence Affidavit;and Addl. Evidence Afidavit of Mr.Jagadish Prasad Sharma, Authorised person of complainant firm filed. Evidence Affidavit of Mr.A. Srinivas Aditya authorized employee of the opposite party no.l filed. Evidence Affidavit of opposite party no.2 filed. Written arguments of opposite party no. 1 filed.

6. The points that requires determination are:

i). Whether the opposite party no.1 has been deficient and negligent in not compensating the claim of the complainant?
ii). If yes, is the complainant entitled to reliefs sought for, to what relief?

7. Th complainant is a partnership firm in the business of manufacturing polyester film/BOPP Film. They are insured with opposite party no.1 vide policy no. 051103/11/11/11/00001528 for the period from 21.01.2012 to 20.1.2013. On 23.3.2012 at about 12.30 p.m., on Ugadi day a fire mishap occurred due to electrical short circuit and the complainant had to endure heavy loss.

The compiainant sought a claim of Rs.93,69,088/- but the Surveyor (opp.party no.2) sent by opposite party no.1 on the date of accident estimated the damage to be over 50 lakhs and since it was beyond his jurisdictional capacity withdrew from the detailed survey submission.

Another survey was conducted by opposite party no.3 and his estimate of insurable loss & damage was placed at Rs.65,91,678/-. To the shock, the complainant received a Discharge Voucher dt.2.12.2013 from opposite party no.1 baldly informing them that without any supporting annexures or documents, the claim is approved for Rs.32,17,779/-.

The main issues raised by the opposite party no.1 insurance company are

i). Opposite party no.2 surveyor observed that the insured/complainant had allegedly purchased stock on 21.3.2012 and 22.3.2012 for a quantity of 16,950 kgs. of P.P.Granules and within two days 14,100 kgs were issued for processing or the heavy 5 issues of previous two days stock which is allegedly purchased from local dealers one day before the fire and taken delivery on the same day, issuing such stock for processing which was claimed as stock in process indicates that claim was not preferred with clean hands.

ii). reference is made to Doc.no.7 Pg.Nos. 18 & 19, which does not bear any stamp or authority and that the complainant had estimated the loss according to his convenience at the time of the mishap on 23.3.2012.

ii).The surveyor had sought for certain documents:

.Copy of Purchase Register for the month of March,2012.
Copy of the Abstract/Statement of Sales Tax/Excise Duty on purchase and sale for the month of March,2012.
Form ER-1 Return of Central Excise for the month of March,2012.
Statement of Excise Duty Reversal for the affected stock claimed in the month of March,2012. Copy of the day book for the month of March,2012- Purchase entries.
Copy of VAT returns.
Ledger copy for the month of March 2012-Creditors. Final Investigation Report. Copy of Statement of Inventory of Raw Material/ Work in process /Semi-finished and finished for the month of March,2012.
goods Copy of Statement of closing of stock for the past period.
But the complainant filed the present complaint without any basis. The opposite party no.1 intimated through letter dated 19.8.2013 that the loss assessed by the surveyor appears to be on the higher side and that the loss amount will be considered subject to approval by competent authority.
8. We have carefully perused the documentary evidence on record of the case and the following points emerge for consideration.

The undisputed facts of the case are . O n 23.3.2012 at about 12.30 p.m. due to short circuit, fire accident occurred in the complainant's factory M/s.Shubham Industries.

.On perusal of Ex.A14 reveals that the surveyors (Opposite party no.3) -Selex Insurance Surveyors & Loss Assessors found that the documents submitted do not conclusively substantiate the claim preferred by the complainant on S. insurers and they asked for further clarifications, by way of "9.Detailed Estimate loss with supporting documents.

We refer tn the investigatiom report filed by oppositr parly no.% vlde Ex.A:) dt28.3.2013 The following observstions sre reproduced from the report to further understand the dispute ."or a muximun ssle of Rs.2,00,0%0/- per dsy any prudent business nan shall keep a reasonable stnk of value five times the requirement of everyday which omes to Rs.10,00,000/-.

A s the unit is continuously functioning (evidenced by the electricity bills) since several years and the purchase and sles for previous 3 years did not shoot up for high values Ccept averuge of Rs.35,00,000/ per month, there in no point or logic uppeared to stock a value of finished of Rs,68,13,452/ goods .The two day» input of ntocks Wan shown under 3 bills and Cacept the invoices the insurcd was unablc to provide any documentary evidence of lorry trip shect cte; confirming the physical transhipment from the eller factory to insured premises. May be he purchascd the stock which is accennib: sor him even to take the delivery after firo acciden n 23.03.2012".

The report concluded that the insured is unable to answer as to why within two days time huge stock is issued for processing which allegedly got damaged in the mishap.

The report further stated that it appears reasonable to believe that as on date of loss/accident i.e. 23.3.2012, the value of stock in process and the finished goods shall not exceed the previous year closing balance of Rs.26,66,968/-

9 The 2nd Survey report is filed vide Ex.A20 14.9.2012 loss on account of stocks is assessed at Rs.58,71,510/- and on account of Plant & Machinery is assessed at Rs. 6,12,388/- and Bldg. at Rs.86,780/-. Total amount is Rs.65,70,678/-

But this has been based on 31.3.2012 audited balance sheet as per Pg49-Ex.A20. The fire accident and ensuing damage occurred on 23.3.2012

-purchases made after 23rd March should not have been considered but this survey report has taken this into account. In March three invoices relating to purchases do not have the connected Way Bill. A close scrutiny of Ex.A25 PG.62 reveals the date of invoice is 28.3.2012 for Tax Invoice Nos.3001978577 Rs.8,27,470/, 3001978578- 28.3.2012 - Rs.2,28,54 1/- . These two invoices were raised after the fire accident and should not be considered. However, the 2nd survey report failed to consider this aspect. Now we refer to Ex.A25 page 62 corresponding to Ex.B1. Out of the 8 invoices submitted totalling to Rs.45,88,411/ only two are eligible as they are dated prior to the accident & having connected Way Bills.

Emphasis is supplied on Invoice no.3001976992 dt. 16.3.2012 of Reliance Industries Ltd. for Rs.8,12,299/- ; and 3001976642 dt.14.3.2012 of Reliance Industries Ltd. for Rs.8,12,299/-. Out of the six invoices - two are post fire accident. The remaining invoices were submitted without Way Bills. Further two are dated just a day & two prior to the accident. This doubt has been raised by opposite party no.2 surveyor and the Insurance Company has later asked for clarification, which was not duly submitted. These 6 invoices total to Rs.29.62 lakhs. The second report submitted by opposite party no.3 has not been properly conducted.

10. The complainant company has relied on two judgements

i)F.A.No.324/2006 and C.A.No.4487/2004. wherein it was discussed that the insurance company cannot discard reports of various surveyors till getting a favourable report and therefore allowed the complaint.

The case on hand is different and the circumstances for appointment of the 2nd surveyor happened because the first surveyor withdrew as it was first However, the grounds urged by the capacity.
