Better to avoid alcohol for healthy life
the below news is from the judgement in response to a petition which divyas mom had filed for her insurance as per this divya had mixed some drug in the drink which she was having that time
State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission
Mrs. Meeta Omprakash Bharti vs Life Insurance Corporation Of India ... on 10 January, 2012
The Complainant further contended that on 5/4/1993, when 'Divya' was sitting in the window she lost her balance and fell down. She succumbed to the injuries and died on the spot.
The Complainant further stated that though alcohol was found in the blood of the deceased 'Divya' in the post-mortem report, she contended that it was within permissible limits and there was no breach of terms and conditions of the insurance policy on the part of the deceased 'Divya'
Admittedly, deceased 'Divya' was insured with the insurance company for double accident coverage benefit. It is also not disputed that on 5/4/1993, when deceased 'Divya' was sitting on the widow frame of her house, she met with an accident. She succumbed to the injuries and died on the spot. Being a nominee of deceased 'Divya', the Complainant lodged a claim with the insurance company and admittedly, the claim of normal risk is settled by the insurance company. However, benefit of double accident coverage was not given.
The insurance company had repudiated the double accident benefit on the basis of exception clause No.10(2)(b)(i) of the insurance policy which provides that the insured is not entitled to double accident benefit for intentional heavy injury, attempted suicide while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, drug or narcotic.
The Coroner's Court had also come to the said conclusion. The District Forum observed that the chemical analyzer's report positively showed that viscera and blood of the deceased 'Divya' contained 'Diazepam' and 'Diazepam' is a drug which helps intoxication. The District Forum has passed the impugned order after taking into consideration the facts of the case and the terms and conditions of the insurance policy. In our opinion, the order passed by the District Forum is just and proper and there is no substance in the present appeal filed by the Appellant/original Complainant. We hold accordingly and pass the following order:-
ORDER Appeal stands dismissed.
No order as to costs.
