Insurance firm told
to pay more relief CHANDIGARH, June 1 — In an important judgment here, the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission held that United India Insurance Company had paid less cover as insurance to a city resident whose shops were gutted in terrorist violence in Srinagar. Taking up an appeal case filed by Mr R.K. Kaul, a resident of Faridabad, against United India Insurance Company, the Bench consisting of president Mr J.B. Garg and members Dr P.K. Vasudeva and Mrs Devinderjt Dhatt set aside the earlier orders passed by the District Forum II which had directed that Rs 10, 429 be paid to the complainant who stated that two insured shops belonging to him were gutted during violence in Srinagar. The commission Bench, after going through rival contentions, however, ordered that of Rs 63,143 should be paid to the appellant. The Bench further directed that in case of delay in payment, interest at the rate of 12 per cent per annum will also be payable to the appellant. The respondents were also directed to pay Rs 100 as compensation for the cost of litigation incurred by the appellant. Mr Kaul, in his complaint, submitted that he owned two residential houses at Habakadal in Srinagar. He stated that while one bigger house comprised four regular residential storeys, one spacious attic at the top, the other house was three storeyed. These, he stated, were insured for the period between May 23, 1991, and May 22, 1992, for Rs 4.50 lakh. It was added that militants were compelling Hindus to leave Srinagar and it was due to this reason that he had to migrate in March, 1990. He stated that on the intervening night of July 8 and 9, 1990, terrorists set the premises on the fire and his houses were absolutely gutted. The amount given to the appellant as, however, reduced in value by 50 per cent. The commission Bench observed that this reduction was not justified especially when the occurrence took place within six months of the policy. The respondents were directed to pay Rs 63, 00 as cover. |

How colours portray human mind CHANDIGARH, June 1—It's strange to see how colours can portray all that bothers the human mind. At least that is what one gathers after taking a round of the work on display at IndusInd Art Gallery.The artist is not very new to the field, with two solo shows already to her credit. Though this time around, she seems to have invested a lot of emotion in giving shape to her paintings. Rosy Khosla, a product of Appejay College of Fine Arts, Jalandhar, is concentrating on the human heart vis-a-vis the mind. The colours she employs reflect the gloomy part of this seemingly ideal world. She also delves into the mysterious world of the man-woman relationship. The medium she employs is oil and at times she uses palette knife to put layers of colours one by one on the sheet. The effect is tremendous in the sense of depth. All themes have been specifically focused on the human life and its complications. The artist begins to give shape to her image and the way she uses the brush reflects her urge to discover and sometimes rediscover the purpose of life. Sensitivity is very dominant in the artist's portrayal of woman, man and child forms. She begins with a painting termed "Relationship". Then she goes on to touch upon a wide range of more sensitive subjects as "Mother and Child", "Her Dreams", "Between Two" and "Angels Around Us". There are two works where sketching has taken seat. Rosy has used a pencil to show the felicitating men. "Her Dreams" may be interpreted as a view of the travails that a woman must go through in her entire life. It talks in colours about the rape of her emotions and love. In her work, "Between Two", the artist seems to be trying to put at best the friction in man-woman relationship. The rift in the relationship is dominantly portrayed in the painting.  |
