| 2 | 14-11-2013 Learned counsels agree that since the claim of the petitioner has been finally repudiated by the Insurance Company, petitioner has an alternative remedy either before the concerned Consumer Court under the Consumer Protection Act or before the |
| Ombudsman of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) in terms of Public Grievances Rules, 1998. This writ application is accordingly disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to avail the alternative remedy as she may choose. Petitioner will be at liberty to make proper prayer before the authority concerned for condonation of delay. |
