IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 18302 of 2009 Date of decision: 28.02.2011 Kuldeep ...Petitioner Versus The Senior Divisional Manager ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Mr. Aman Pal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. B.R. Mahajan, Advocate for the respondent. RANJIT SINGH J. On 25.01.2011, this Court passed the following order:- “ Prima facie, I am of the view that insurance policy was taken by the petitioner in the year 2002, which was got revived after lapse in 2004, when the petitioner was not suffering from any disease. Merely because the petitioner went to hospital after 1 month and 5 days of the revival of the policy would not mean that the petitioner was suffering from some disease, when he sought revival of the policy. If the life Insurance Corporation of India had any doubt, it should have taken action to revive the policy after proper medical examination. Once the respondent had taken the decision to revive the policy, it would not be appropriate for the Corporation to take up a stand on the basis of some investigation ordered subsequently. After all, a person gets insurance of life to take care of such like eventuality. Such amounts are meant for his Civil Writ Petition No. 18302 of 2009 -2- family, which is left behind to fend for themselves. Too technical and hyper-technical approach in such cases cannot be adopted. Let counsel for the Corporation have instructions.” Mr. Mahajan, representing the Insurance Company today has made a statement that the respondent/insurance company has decided to pay the insurance claim. The amount will be released within a period of one month. The Court would like to appreciate the attitude adopted by the Corporation. The writ petition is rendered infructuous and is dispsoed of as such. February 28, 2011 (RANJIT SINGH ) rts JUDGE
