Vikram Greentech (I) Ltd. & Anr vs New India Assurance Co. Ltd on 1 April, 2009
6. The main contention of the appellant Company is that
some typing mistake in the policy cannot give rise to contractual
obligation of LIC to pay the amount. To give benefit of typing mistake if
under the terms and conditions of the policy, the complainant was
entitled to the same, hence the amount payable under the policy which
is a legal contract is only as per the terms and conditions of the policy
and not beyond. Reliance has been placed on the judgments of the
Hon'ble Supreme Court titles as "Vikram Greentech (I) Ltd. and Anr.
Vs. New India Assurance Company Ltd.", reported in JT 2009(5)
SC579 and "General Assurance Society Ltd. Vs. Chandumull Jain
& Ors." reported in AIR 1996 SC 1644, to plead that the court should

themselves. On this basis, the appellants plead for the dismissal of the
complaint by setting aside the order of the District Commission.
