NATIONAL INSURANCE CO.LTD. vs SEHTIA SHOES

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's revision petition by the National Consumer Redressal Commission, affirming the findings of the District Forum and State Commission regarding a shopkeeper insurance claim. The Court emphasized that a settlement can be contested if proven to be obtained under coercion, but found no merit in the appellant's claim that the settlement was coerced. The Court reiterated that the assessment of loss by the surveyor was unjustified, leading to the dismissal of the appeal and maintaining the awarded sum of Rs.4,95,000 by the District Forum.
