C.R.P(MD)No.416 of 2025
General Insurance Co. Ltd Vs. Prabhu & Another) and 2011 ACJ 175
(National Insurance Co.Ltd., Vs. R.Sivakumar & Others) and had
contended that the claimants are in the in the habit of producing stock
witnesses from the doctors and therefore, in order to eradicate the same,
the Hon'ble Division Benches have directed the concerned tribunals to
mandatorily send the claimants for appearing before the medical board
attached to the Government hospitals, so that the disability certificate
could be relied upon by the Courts. According to them, the disability
certificate issued by the medical boards would be more valuable and
therefore, the request of the claimant to examine an Orthopaedic Surgeon
cannot be accepted.
