10-01-2024 Present : Sh.Balkaran Singh, counsel for the complainant

This order shall dispose of present complaint after affording preliminary hearing to the counsel for the complainant.

During preliminary hearing, counsel for the complainant has argued that insured vehicle of the complainant bearing registration No.PB-03BA-4205 was stolen. The complainant called a police official by dialing No.100 and giave intimation regarding the theft of his motorcycle and also lodged claim with the opposite parties, but opposite parties have failed to settle the claim till date. The complainant suffered from mental agony and pains and also suffered financial loss.

We have heard learned counsel for the complainant and gone through the record.

A perusal of file shows that complainant lodged insurance claim with opposite parties, but they have neither repudiated nor approved his claim till date. Therefore, this Commission is of the view that complaint is pre-mature at this stage. As such, without going into merits of the case, opposite parties are directed to settle the claim of the complainant within 30 days from the date of receipt of copy of this order. As such, this complaint stands disposed off.

Copy of order be issued to complainant and opposite parties free of cost and file be consigned to record room.
