R.A. No.25 of 2023 in
F.A. No.349 of 2020
Present: Mr. Yogesh Gupta, counsel for the applicant-appellant.
First Appeal No.349 of 2020 titled as “IFFCO TOKIO General Insurance Company Ltd. Vs. Deepak” was decided on 11.08.2023 by this Commission. Review Application No.25 of 2023 has been filed against this order / Judgment. Review of order dated 11.08.2023 has been sought primarily on the ground that: no finding of this Commission has come with regard to foremost ground of applicant-appellant, so taken in Memorandum of Appeal to the effect that assessment of loss is required to be done as per surveyor’s report. Licensed surveyor, of applicant-appellant, in final surveyor’s report, assessed net loss payable at Rs.4,31,000/- on repair basis. On this aspect; counsel for applicant-appellant has put forward his contention before this Commission while addressing arguments in main appeal and this Commission was required to give finding on above contention, which has not been done by it while deciding first appeal on 11.08.2023, thereby warranting review of order dated 11.08.2023.
2. On analyzing above contention, this Commission is of firm view that Review Application No.25 of 2023 has no merit and credence. Reason is obvious. The quality of contention so put forward by learned counsel for applicant-appellant, while seeking review, as noted above, has acquired enormous ramifications at legal pedestal. It has the effect of totally altering and changing the integral part of order dated 11.08.2023, which is legally not permissible. Had, applicant-appellant been aggrieved because of non-consideration of its contention by this Commission while deciding First Appeal No.349 of 2020 through order dated 11.08.2023, then, nothing stopped aggrieved applicant-appellant to avail remedy of filing appeal / revision before Higher Authorities, which has not been done by it. This being so, this Review application No.25 of 2023, sans merit and thus dismissed. Review Application file be consigned to record room to be tagged along with F.A. No.349 of 2020 decided on 11.08.2023.
