Manda Savarna vs Lic Of India And Ors. on 14 July, 1998

4. Learned Counsel for the appellant relies upon the judgment of this Commission in the case of Smt. Manda Savarna v. The Branch Manager, L.I.C. of India and Anr., R.P. No. 536 of 1996 decided on 14.7.1998, wherein this Commission had held the death to be on account of accident and thus, it allowed the benefits. We have very carefully gone through this. In our view, the facts of the case are entirely different. In the cited judgment the death of the insured resulted from his being dragged out of the house by a group of Naxalites and the injuries inflicted upon him leading to his death. This Commission had dealt with the question of 'riot' and its interpretation and in those circumstances, awarded the insured amount but in the present case the facts are entirely different. As per F.I.R., the deceased had been killed somewhere else and his body was brought and dumped in the village with bullet wound near his ear on the head as also wounds of bullet on his ribs.
