New India Assurance Company Limited vs Trilochan Jane on 9 December, 2009
In support of their arguments, Ld. Counsel for defendant referred and
relied upon the case of National Consumer Disputes Redressal
Commission in titled "New India Assurance Company (appellant)
Vs. Trilochan Jane (respondent) in C.D Case No. 60/2001 of Orissa
Order dated 09.12.2009" wherein it was held as under:
Malkit Singh Vs. Reliance General Insurance Co. Ltd. 15 /19
The respondent did not care to inform the insurance company
about the theft for a period of 09 days, which could be fatal to
the investigation. The delay in lodging the FIR after 2 days of the
coming to know of the theft and 09 days to the insurance
company, can be fatal as, in the meantime, the car could have
traveled a long distance or may have been dismantled by that
time and sold to kabaadi (scrap dealer).
