ORDER

Petitioner/complainant purchased a policy by the name of ‘Jiyo Life Plus’ from the respondent insurance company.  The amount of maturity was to be paid on the basis of NAV on the date of payment.  Respondents paid the sum of Rs.29,46,933/-.  Petitioner filed the complaint before the District Forum alleging that the company did not pay the actual amount payable to him.

 

-2-

          District Forum allowed the complaint and directed the respondents to pay Rs.4,94,202/- to the petitioner after adjusting the sum of Rs.29,46,933/- already paid to the complainant.  The respondents were also directed to pay interest @ 7% w.e.f. 06.05.2009, i.e. the date of filing of the complaint till the date of payment.

          Petitioner being dissatisfied with the order of the District Forum regarding the payment of interest from the date of filing of the complaint and not from the date on which it became due, filed the appeal before the State Commission.  Respondent also filed cross appeal No.220/2010 before the State Commission against the additional amount granted by the District Forum.

          The State Commission by the impugned order has dismissed the appeal filed by the petitioner, aggrieved against which the petitioner has filed the present revision petition seeking interest from the date on which the payment became due.

          Counsel for the petitioner has fairly brought to our notice that the appeal no.220/2010 filed by the respondent has been allowed by the State Commission on 17.9.2010 and the complaint filed by the

-3-

complainant seeking additional amount has been ordered to be dismissed; that against the said order of the State Commission in appeal No.220/2010, petitioner has filed the revision petition No.27/2011 which is coming up for hearing on 14.07.2011.

          Present revision petition has become infructuous as the complaint filed by the petitioner stands dismissed by the subsequent order passed by the State Commission in appeal no.220/2010.  The revision petition is dismissed reserving liberty with the petitioner to raise the plea regarding the interest in the revision petition No.27/2011.
