          This order disposes of miscellaneous application No.66 of 2016 filed in First Appeal No.274 of 2012 titled Reliance General Insurance Company Limited versus Santosh Devi and others.

2.      By filing the present application, learned counsel for the applicant-opposite party No.1 has stated that the statutory amount of Rs.25,000/- was not ordered to be refunded.  He prayed for refund of the amount deposited at the time of filing the appeal. 

3.      A complaint under Section 12 of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 was filed by Santosh Devi-complainant against the opposite parties (applicant and respondents No.2 and 3 herein) before the District Consumer Forum, Rewari, seeking direction to the opposite parties to pay Rs.1.00 lac to her under ‘Rajiv Gandhi Pariwar Bima Yojna’ (for short ‘the Scheme’) issued by the Social Justice and Empowerment Department, Haryana. The complaint was allowed vide order dated September 29^th, 2011. 

4.      The appeal filed by the applicant-opposite party No.1 was allowed and the complaint was dismissed as infructuous because the amount of Rs.1.00 under the Scheme had already been paid to the complainant, through cheque (photo copy Annexure A-3), before filing of the complaint.  

5.      This being so, the statutory amount of Rs.25,000/- be refunded to the applicant against proper receipt and identification in accordance with rules.
