Oriental Insurance asked to pay Rs. 1.5 lakh by Consumer Forum Court

Simran Kaur was born with a boil at the time of birth and after several years was advised to undergo surgery at the base of the spine. The Insurance Company rejected the claim by declaring it as a preexisting disease.

Justice Kapoor said “day to day problems of pain, swelling or fever can not be termed as preexisting disease., thus any attempt on the part of the insurer to repudiate the claim for such non disclosure is not permissible.’

We appreciate the judiciary system of India, which is protecting the interests of the consumers.
