Concurrent Findings Of Facts , National Commission Refuses Interference In Revision Petition By United India Insurance Co: NCDRC

In the case titled United India Insurance Co Ltd. vs. Sukh Lal Soni, the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, led by AVM J. Rajendra, emphasized the limited revisional jurisdiction granted under Section 21(b) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. \r

The complainant, who had purchased a medical policy under the Synd Arogya Scheme, alleged non-renewal under original terms after the merger of Syndicate Bank with Canara Bank. \r

Despite the insurer's contention regarding the termination of the corporate agency agreement, the Commission held that the lower fora's findings were well-reasoned, restricting its revisional authority. Citing precedent cases, including Sunil Kumar Maity vs. SBI & Anr., and Rajiv Shukla Vs. Gold Rush Sales and Services Ltd., the Commission dismissed the insurer's petition, upholding the State Commission's order.
