(Per Shri S.R.Khanzode, Hon’ble Presiding Judicial Member) (1) This appeal takes an exception to an order dated 19/06/2007 passed in Consumer Complaint No. 06/2006, Jogeshwari Jwellers Vs. The New India Assurance Co.Ltd. & ors., passed by District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Raigarh ('Forum' in short). (2) Both the parties are remaining absent. Intimation of the date fixed was already published on notice board of the Commission, the Bar and internet. Since, both the parties are remaining absent; we prefer to consider the appeal for admission on its own merit. (3) Admittedly, the consumer complaint stood dismissed. The respondent/opponent repudiated the claim of the appellant/complainant. The complainant, therefore, filed consumer complaint. The forum upholding the contention of the opponent insurance company dismissed the consumer complaint. Since the policy taken by the complainant did not cover the risk of flood, ultimate dismissal of the consumer complaint cannot be faulted with. Holding accordingly, we pass the following order. ORDER (1) Appeal is not admitted and stands dismissed, accordingly. (2) In the given circumstances, parties to bear their own costs. Pronounced on 1st March, 2012. |
