Question

Rishabh purchased a car for ₹ 8,00,000. He insured the car on the same day from Alex Insurance Company. Rishabh’s car was stolen in Kedwan while he was on vacation with his family. He promptly filed a First Information Report (FIR), informed the insurer and submitted all the required documents.
To Rishabh’s shock, the insurance company rejected his claim, alleging he had failed to take due care and had parked the car in an unsafe manner. Determined to challenge this, Rishabh wrote multiple letters to the insurance company, but the insurance company refused to pay the compensation.
Rishabh filed a case with District Commission. The District Commission was satisfied with the genuineness of the complaint and ordered the insurance company to pay a reasonable amount.
Identify and explain two consumer rights which have been exercised by Rishabh.

Answer 1

Under consumer protection statutes, dissatisfaction with a District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission ruling permits an appeal to the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. Such appeals, grounded in fact or law, must be initiated within a prescribed period following the District Commission's order, ensuring prompt and equitable grievance resolution.

Appeals must be filed within 30 days of the order's issuance. Failure to meet this deadline may result in forfeiture of the appeal right, unless the State Commission grants condonation of the delay based on sufficient cause.

If any of the parties is not satisfied by the order of District Commission, he can appeal against such order to the State Commission on the grounds of facts or law within a period_____of from the date of order.
