The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum-I has slapped a fine of Rs 15,000 on Oriental Insurance Company Limited. The forum comprising president PD Goel and members Rajinder Singh Gill and Madanjit Kaur Sahota also directed the opposite party to pay the claim of Rs 61,816 besides Rs 5,000 as costs of litigation.

The complainant, Ashish Pandhi, a resident of Sector 16, submitted that he got a Bajaj Pulsar motorcycle fully insured with the opposite party against the premium of Rs 1375 for a sum of Rs 61,816. The insurance policy was valid from July 24, 2009 to July 23, 2010.

On May 24, 2010, a prospective buyer approached him with an intention to purchase the motorcycle and requested for its test drive. The complainant in good faith entrusted the motorcycle, but the said person ran away with the motorcycle and did not return.

Thereafter, the police submitted the untraced/ final report on October 8, 2010. The complainant lodged the claim with the opposite party on October 13, 2010, but instead of settling the claim, the opposite party repudiated the same on January 20, 2011.

Counsel for the Oriental Insurance Company Limited pleaded that the act of the complainant to have handed over the key of the vehicle to a stranger without knowing his identity and allowing him to take a test drive is in violation of the policy conditions.

He should have taken all reasonable steps to safeguard the vehicle from loss and by allowing the stranger to take the test drive of the vehicle, the complainant endangered the safety of the vehicle. It had been pleaded that there was an inordinate delay of five months in intimating the theft of the vehicle in question.
