IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 988 of 2009 Date of decision : 19.1.2010 National Insurance Company Ltd. ....Petitioners Versus Rohtash ...Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr. D.P.Gupta, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. Sanjay Mittal, Advocate for the respondent. S. D. ANAND, J. While disposing of the controversy between the parties about the liability or otherwise of the petitioner-respondent company to reimburse the respondent in the context of an insured stolen tractor, the learned Presiding Officer of the Permanent Lok Adalat, Public Utility Service also observed that “the applicant was persuaded to agree for some cut/deduction in the nature of Non-Standard claims and he has agreed for a cut at 32.5% at the IDV. His statement in that behalf was recorded.” It is apparent from a perusal of the impugned order that it does not notice all the relevant facts and further that the reliance upon that the the respondent “pursuaded to agree” was not appropriate, particularly when the matter was not being decided on consensual basis but it was being disposed of by adjudication. The parties, through their learned counsel, are directed to appeal before the learned Presiding Officer, Permanent Lok Adalat, Public Utility Service on 5.2.2010. The learned Presiding Officer, Permanent Lok Adalat, Public Utility Service shall proceed to dispose of the matter afresh by or on 15.2.2010. January 19, 2010 (S. D. ANAND) Pka JUDGE
