10 years on, Rs 48 lakh relief for ex-Air India man

Mumbai: Ten years after a flight engineer from Juhu lost his licence for medical reasons, the state consumer commission on Wednesday ordered an insurance company to pay him a compensation of Rs 28 lakh for wrongly repudiating his Loss of Flying License Insurance policy claim on the grounds of a pre-existing illness. The Maharashtra State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has also directed New India Assurance Co Ltd to pay the insurance amount of Rs 20 lakh to the complainant, D Janardanan.
According to the commission, Janardanan deserved to be compensated for the delay, mental agony and litigation cost. "There is substantive merit in the complaint as the opponents arbitrarily repudiated the insurance claim, rendering deficiency in service," the panel said.
