The Insurance Company was informed of the theft after five days. A claim was later lodged with the Insurance Company. The claim was repudiated by the Insurance Company solely on the ground that the theft had not been reported to the Insurance Company immediately after it had taken place and consequently, there was a breach of the terms and conditions of the Insurance policy. Being aggrieved from the repudiation of his claim, the complainant approached the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Fatehabad.
