but also observed that it is an authorized dealer of Insurance Company.
3. Mr. Arjun Kundra, Advocate submits that the petitioner is
not authorized agent or dealer of Insurance Company-Royal Sundaram
General Insurance Company Ltd. and Permanent Lok Adalat has wrongly
declared it authorized dealer of Insurance Company while passing
impugned order. The said order may create its liability at a later stage.
The impugned order may be modified or clarified in the light of claim
lodged by respondent No.2.
4. Without seeking response of respondents, this Court finds it
appropriate to dispose of the instant petition with the observation that the
Permanent Lok Adalat while passing final order shall consider claim of
petitioner whether it is actually dealer of Insurance Company or not. The
observations made in impugned order may not be treated as absolute.
