ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited V/s Smt. Kiran Dubey and another

                   17-02-2021                    

          Heard.

          Present appeal has been preferred by the appellant Insurance Company against the exparte judgment and order dated 11-10-2013. Apparently there is a delay of more than 4 years in filing the instant appeal of which no proper explanation has been given by the appellant Insurance Company.

          From the perusal of the certified copy of the judgment of the District Consumer Commission it is crystal clear that the duplicate copy of the judgment has been issued on 11-05-2017. The original certified copy, therefore, must have been issued to the appellant Insurance Company after the exparte judgment of which no details are mentioned.

          In view of the aforesaid, the dealy in filing the present appeal cannot be condoned. The appeal, therefore, is liable to be dismissed on the ground of delay and latches at the stage of admission itself.

                                            ORDER

          The appeal is dismissed at the stage of admission itself.
