(hereinafter called "District Forum" for short), in Complaint Case No.10/2011, whereby the complaint of the appellant herein, seeking compensation of Rs. 11,956 from the respondent/Insurance Company, has been dismissed on the ground that the Insurance Company has paid the amount as per assessment of the Surveyor and thus, there remains nothing to be paid by the Insurance Company to the complainant.
(2.) UNDISPUTEDLY , an Auto Rickshaw bearing No.C.G.04 -T -1791 was insured by the respondent/Insurance Company and was of the registered ownership of the appellant/complainant. It suffered road accident during the period of subsistence of the insurance policy. It was brought to the authorized service centre, G.K. Motors, Raipur for repairing.
