This case is no different,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;The complaint deserves to be accepted and the grounds taken by the OPs (opposite party) since not sustainable are sequentially rejected. The core question that remains to be answered is as to how the complaint can be compensated for the harassment caused to him at the hands of the OPs,&#8221; Srivastava said.<\/p>\n<p>The commission asked the firm to allow the policy claim within two months to Nagar.<\/p>\n<p>The commission referred to one of its previous orders in which it had said that any disease for which one has never been hospitalised or undergone operation is not a pre-existing disease.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If a person conceals the factum of his hospitalisation for a particular disease or operation undergone by him in the near proximity of obtaining the insurance policy, only then it can be termed a concealment of factum of disease,&#8221; the tribunal said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Delhi state consumer commission has observed that claimants are made to run from pillar to post to get medical reimbursement from insurance companies and it would be &#8220;extremely tenuous&#8221; to expect a layman to read each and every clause of an insurance document before signing it.
