The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in South Mumbai has ruled in favour of a farmer`s widow, instructing an insurance firm to respect her Rs 2 lakh claim under a plan launched by the Maharashtra government following her husband`s death in a traffic accident in 2017.
In a ruling published on April 18, the consumer body in Mumbai criticised the insurance firm for rejecting the woman`s lawful claim in an "arbitrary" way, claiming that it had failed to fulfil its role imposed by the state government, the PTI reported.
