NATIONAL INSURANCE CO.LTD. vs HINDUSTAN SAFETY GLASS WORKS LTD.

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission regarding the claim of Hindustan Safety Glass Works Ltd. under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The Court found that the National Insurance Company failed to settle the claim despite two survey reports indicating a loss of approximately Rs. 24 lakhs. The Court affirmed the National Commission's ruling that the insured was entitled to compensation for the loss suffered due to heavy rain, thus reinforcing the obligations of insurers under the Act.
