NO. 20552 OF 2000 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of August, 2009 JUDGMENT Petitioner's case is that his fishing boat was set to fire leading to loss and he made insurance claim and the same was rejected. The incident happened 20 years back and I do not think the insurance company will be able to verify the records and process the claim. In the circumstances no direction is called for. O.P. is accordingly dismissed. (C.N. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge kk 2
