06-11-2023 Present : Sh.Mohit Attri, 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.HR-25D-2018 met with an accident on 10.8.2023. DDR No.20 dated 10.8.2023 was registered in this regard. The complainant also lodged claim with opposite parties, but they have failed to settle the claim till date. The complainant suffered from grave mental tension, botheration, harassment, humiliation 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 the opposite parties but they have neither repudiated nor approved the claim of the complainant 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 45 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.
