Sikka Papers Ltd vs National Insurance Co. Ltd. & Ors on 29 May, 2009
15. Justifying the judgment of the National Commission, it is
contended by Mr. Joy Basu, learned senior counsel for the respondent
that M/S Adarsh Associates were appointed by the respondent as
Surveyors to act as such in terms of Section 64UM(2) of the Insurance
Act, 1938 and that they have assessed the loss in a scientific manner.
As the Surveyors appointed by the respondent are experts in the field,
who have gone into every minute detail by examining the records of the
appellant scientifically, their report is unassailable. In the case on hand,
it was admitted even by the appellant, to Shri Kapil Vaish who
conducted spot inspection that there was no physical verification of the
stock of raw material in the recent past and that the consumption of
8
raw material was recorded only on estimated yield basis. Therefore, the
learned senior counsel for the respondent contended, by drawing our
attention to the letter dated 5.12.2007 sent by the appellant that the
appellant themselves were adopting volumetric analysis for the
quantification of the stock. The learned senior counsel relied upon the
decisions of this Court in (i) United India Insurance Company Ltd.
And Others vs. Roshan Lal Oil Mills Ltd. And others1; (ii) Sikka
Papers Limited vs. National Insurance Company Limited And
Others2; and (iii) New India Assurance Company Limited vs. Luxra
Enterprises Private Limited And Another.3, in support of his
contention that the report of the surveyor is an important document and
that Courts may have to show deference to the report of the surveyor
appointed in terms of section 64UM(2) of the Act.
