SYED DASTAGIR PASHA vs ORIENTAL INSURANCE CO.LTD..

The Supreme Court, in a Lok Adalat proceeding, granted leave and disposed of the appeal by directing the Oriental Insurance Company to pay an additional sum of Rs. 75,000 to the appellant, Syed Dastagir Pasha, in full and final settlement of his claim. The Court mandated that this amount be deposited with the concerned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) within four weeks, allowing the claimant to withdraw the total sum thereafter. This decision emphasizes the importance of amicable settlement in insurance claims.
