Commission directed the appellant to pay to the complainant a sum of Rs.80,18,944/- towards storage charges within eight weeks from the date of order passed by the Commission,
was directed to pay interest on that amount @ 9% per annum.
Mr. Shivam Singh, learned Advocate appearing for the appellant has invited our attention to Clause 6.1 of the concerned Insurance Policy to submit that there was a total ‘Exclusion’ and the insurance company would not be liable.
With his able assistance, we have gone through the entire record.
We affirm the view taken by the Commission that the matter would not be covered by the ‘Exclusion
Clause” in terms of Clause 6.1 of the Policy. In the circumstances, the order passed by the Commission does not call for any interference.
Since the matter is devoid of any merit, even though it is a statutory appeal, we see no reason to entertain the appeal. The appeal is, accordingly, dismissed.
