M/S.Sigma Diagnostics Ltd vs United India Insurance Co.Ltd. & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission erred in dismissing the appeals regarding the quantum of compensation awarded by the State Commission, emphasizing that it was obligated to decide the appeals on merits as the complaint was disposed of on merits. The Court found that the failure to do so resulted in manifest injustice, leading to the remand of the matter for a decision on merits. The appeals were allowed, and the impugned order was set aside.
