The brief facts of the case are that the respondent filed the complaint in the Forum on 19-11-2001 with the allegations that during the currency of the insurance policy his insured house situated in village Aharbal was gutted in fire on 30-04-98. The indemnification in the sum of Rs. 3.00 lakhs and compensation for an amount of Rs. 1.50 lakhs was claimed.
