Issues / Allegations / Violations

  • Petitioners argued that the phrase “after adjusting what may already have been paid” created confusion because the amount calculated was already over and above any prior payments.
  • Respondent No.2 (Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd.) did not dispute the factual position.

  • The directive for respondent No.2 to pay Rs 41,21,664 plus 8 % per annum interest to the appellants within two months remains in force.
