ORDER

Heard the learned counsel on admission.

Perused the entire material on record.

1. This revision petition has been filed under “Section 60” of The Consumer Protection Act, 2019, in challenge to the Order dated 17.03.2021 of The State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, UT Chandigarh, in Appeal No. 04 of 2020 arising out of the Order dated 09.10.2019 of The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission-II, UT, Chandigarh in Consumer Complaint No. 722 of 2018.

The revisional jurisdiction of this Commission is provided for under Section 58(1)(b) of the Act 2019, and not under Section 60. As such, we are treating “Section 60” printed in the petition to be a clerical mistake and are considering this petition under Section 58(1)(b).

2. The dispute relates to repudiation of an insurance claim on the theft of a vehicle.

It is admitted that the premium was paid, the policy was valid and the theft was reported to the police.
