Surveyor's Report Can Only Be Rejected On Valid Grounds: NCDRC

The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) ruled that a surveyor’s report can only be rejected on valid grounds. The case involved a dispute over an insurance claim where the insurer sought to reject the surveyor’s report, arguing that it was flawed. The NCDRC held that a surveyor’s report is an important document and can only be dismissed if there are valid reasons for doing so. The ruling emphasizes the weight of expert opinions in consumer disputes and sets a standard for insurers and consumers alike regarding the acceptance or rejection of such reports in claims processing.
