FINAL FORM / REPORT

(Under Section 173 Cr.P.C.)

IN THE COURT OFADDL. CH. M.M., 37TH COURT, ESPLANADE, MUMBAI

The Chief Investigating Officer of the sensational and diabolic attacks by the terrorists at different iconic locations in Mumbai on 26th November 2008, hereby submits a report under Section 173 of Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 as under.A heinous criminal conspiracy has beenplanned and hatched in Pakistan by the internationally banned Lashkar-e-Taiba to execute a series of attacks at prominent places in Mumbai, the financial capital of the country on 26thNovember 2008. This was with the express intention to destabilize India, wage war against this country, terrorize its citizens, create financial loss and issue a warning to other countries whose citizens were also targetted , humiliated and cold-bloodedly killed. This Fidayeen Mission was part of a larger criminal conspiracy planned in Pakistan for attacking the commercial capital of India with intent to wage war, to weaken India economically and to create terror and dread amongst the citizens of the Mumbai metropolis in particular and India in general and, thereby, through the said unlawful activities its perpetrators committed terrorist acts.

Lashkar-e-Taiba (Lashkar-e Tayyiba; literally means Army of the Good, translated as Army of the Righteous, or Army of the Pure) — also pronounced and spelt as Lashkar-i-Tayyaba, Lashkar-e-Tayyaba, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, Lashkar-i-Taiba, or LeT — is one of the largest, most active and lethal militant organizations in South Asia.Lashkar-e-Taiba – “The Army of the Pure” is a militant offshoot of Markaz-ud-Dawa-wal- Irshad (MDI), an Islamic fundamentalist organization. Markaz-ud-Dawatul-wal- Irshad has since been renamed as Jamaat-ud-Dawa.It was founded by Hafiz Muhammad Saeed and Zafar Iqbal in the Kunar province of Afghanistan in 1989. It has its headquarter at Muridke near Lahore, Pakistan. It operates numerous training camps in Pakistan occupied Kashmir as well as in other parts of Pakistan. Lashkar has forged cooperative and operational ties with religious militant groups throughout the Middle East, South East Asia and also in other parts of the world.The Militant group’s defining objective is to Islamicise South Asia with its main aim being freedom for Muslims in India-administered Kashmir.The Lashkar-e-Taiba is banned as a terrorist organization by India, Pakistan, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Russia, Australia besides a host of other countries. Hafiz Saeed has been listed as the leader of the Lashkar-e-Taiba. The United Nations Security Council has also listed Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Haji Mohammad Ashraf, and Mahmoud Mohammad Ahmed Bahaziq as senior members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba.Zaki-Ur-Rehman Lakhvi is listed as the terror group’s chief of Anti-India operations. Haji Mohammed Ashraf is the group’s chief of finance whereas Mahmoud Mohammed Bahaziq, a Saudi national who served as the leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba in Saudi Arabia, is a senior financier. Jamaat – Ud – Dawa has been recently declared as a terrorist front group by the United Nations (UN) as per its Resolution 1267. UN believes that this organization also supports Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

ADVOCATETANMOY IS WILLING TO LICENSE THE SOFTWARE TO YOU ONLY UPON THE CONDITION THAT YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THE TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT. BY DOWNLOADING OR INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE, OR USING THE EQUIPMENT THAT CONTAINS THIS SOFTWARE, YOU ARE BINDING YOURSELF AND THE BUSINESS ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT (COLLECTIVELY, “CUSTOMER”) TO THIS AGREEMENT.

YOUR RIGHT TO RETURN AND REFUND EXPIRES 300 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE FROM ADVOCATETANMOY OR AN AUTHORIZED ADVOCATETANMOY RESELLER, AND APPLIES ONLY IF YOU ARE THE ORIGINAL END USER PURCHASER.

The following terms of this End User License Agreement (“Agreement”) govern Customer’s access and use of the Software, except to the extent (a) there is a separate signed agreement between Customer and Advocatetanmoy governing Customer’s use of the Software or (b) the Software includes a separate “click-accept” license agreement as part of the installation and/or download process. To the extent of a conflict between the provisions of the foregoing documents, the order of precedence shall be (1) the signed agreement, (2) the click-accept agreement, and (3) this End User License Agreement.

License. Conditioned upon compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Advocatetanmoy Systems, Inc. or its subsidiary licensing the Software instead of Advocatetanmoy Systems, Inc. (“Advocatetanmoy”), grants to Customer a nonexclusive and nontransferable license to use for Customer’s internal business purposes the Software and the Documentation for which Customer has paid the required license fees. “Documentation” means written information (whether contained in user or technical manuals, training materials, specifications or otherwise) specifically pertaining to the Software and made available by Advocatetanmoy with the Software in any manner (including on CD-Rom, or on-line).

Customer’s license to use the Software shall be limited to, and Customer shall not use the Software in excess of, a single hardware chassis or card or such number and types of agent(s), concurrent users, sessions, IP addresses, port(s), seat(s), server(s), site(s), features and feature sets as are set forth in the applicable Purchase Order which has been accepted by Advocatetanmoy and for which Customer has paid to Advocatetanmoy the required license fee.

Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Documentation, Customer shall use the Software solely as embedded in, for execution on, or (where the applicable documentation permits installation on non-Advocatetanmoy equipment) for communication with Advocatetanmoy equipment owned or leased by Customer and used for Customer’s internal business purposes. NOTE: For evaluation or beta copies for which Advocatetanmoy does not charge a license fee, the above requirement to pay license fees does not apply.

General Limitations. This is a license, not a transfer of title, to the Software and Documentation, and Advocatetanmoy retains ownership of all copies of the Software and Documentation. Customer acknowledges that the Software and Documentation contain trade secrets of Advocatetanmoy, its suppliers or licensors, including but not limited to the specific internal design and structure of individual programs and associated interface information. Accordingly, except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement, Customer shall have no right, and Customer specifically agrees not to:

(i) transfer, assign or sublicense its license rights to any other person or entity, or use the Software on unauthorized or secondhand Advocatetanmoy equipment, and Customer acknowledges that any attempted transfer, assignment, sublicense or use shall be void;

(ii) make error corrections to or otherwise modify or adapt the Software or create derivative works based upon the Software, or permit third parties to do the same;

(iii) reverse engineer or decompile, decrypt, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Software to human-readable form, except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted under applicable law notwithstanding this restriction;

(iv) use or permit the Software to be used to perform services for third parties, whether on a service bureau or time sharing basis or otherwise, without the express written authorization of Advocatetanmoy; or

(v) disclose, provide, or otherwise make available trade secrets contained within the Software and Documentation in any form to any third party without the prior written consent of Advocatetanmoy. Customer shall implement reasonable security measures to protect such trade secrets.

To the extent required by law, and at Customer’s written request, Advocatetanmoy shall provide Customer with the interface information needed to achieve interoperability between the Software and another independently created program, on payment of Advocatetanmoy’s applicable fee, if any. Customer shall observe strict obligations of confidentiality with respect to such information and shall use such information in compliance with any applicable terms and conditions upon which Advocatetanmoy makes such information available.

Software, Upgrades and Additional Copies. For purposes of this Agreement, “Software” shall include (and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to) computer programs, including firmware, as provided to Customer by Advocatetanmoy or an authorized Advocatetanmoy reseller, and any upgrades, updates, bug fixes or modified versions thereto (collectively, “Upgrades”) or backup copies of the Software licensed or provided to Customer by Advocatetanmoy or an authorized Advocatetanmoy reseller. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT: (1) CUSTOMER HAS NO LICENSE OR RIGHT TO USE ANY ADDITIONAL COPIES OR UPGRADES UNLESS CUSTOMER, AT THE TIME OF ACQUIRING SUCH COPY OR UPGRADE, ALREADY HOLDS A VALID LICENSE TO THE ORIGINAL SOFTWARE AND HAS PAID THE APPLICABLE FEE FOR THE UPGRADE OR ADDITIONAL COPIES; (2) USE OF UPGRADES IS LIMITED TO ADVOCATETANMOY EQUIPMENT FOR WHICH CUSTOMER IS THE ORIGINAL END USER PURCHASER OR LESSEE OR WHO OTHERWISE HOLDS A VALID LICENSE TO USE THE SOFTWARE WHICH IS BEING UPGRADED; AND (3) THE MAKING AND USE OF ADDITIONAL COPIES IS LIMITED TO NECESSARY BACKUP PURPOSES ONLY.

Proprietary Notices. Customer agrees to maintain and reproduce all copyright and other proprietary notices on all copies, in any form, of the Software in the same form and manner that such copyright and other proprietary notices are included on the Software. Except as expressly authorized in this Agreement, Customer shall not make any copies or duplicates of any Software without the prior written permission of Advocatetanmoy.

Term and Termination. This Agreement and the license granted herein shall remain effective until terminated. Customer may terminate this Agreement and the license at any time by destroying all copies of Software and any Documentation. Customer’s rights under this Agreement will terminate immediately without notice from Advocatetanmoy if Customer fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement. Upon termination, Customer shall destroy all copies of Software and Documentation in its possession or control. All confidentiality obligations of Customer and all limitations of liability and disclaimers and restrictions of warranty shall survive termination of this Agreement. In addition, the provisions of the sections titled “U.S. Government End User Purchasers” and “General Terms Applicable to the Limited Warranty Statement and End User License” shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Customer Records. Customer grants to Advocatetanmoy and its independent accountants the right to examine Customer’s books, records and accounts during Customer’s normal business hours to verify compliance with this Agreement. In the event such audit discloses non-compliance with this Agreement, Customer shall promptly pay to Advocatetanmoy the appropriate license fees, plus the reasonable cost of conducting the audit.

Export. Software and Documentation, including technical data, may be subject to U.S. export control laws, including the U.S. Export Administration Act and its associated regulations, and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries. Customer agrees to comply strictly with all such regulations and acknowledges that it has the responsibility to obtain licenses to export, re-export, or import Software and Documentation.

U.S. Government End User Purchasers. The Software and Documentation qualify as “commercial items,” as that term is defined at Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) (48 C.F.R.) 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in FAR 12.212. Consistent with FAR 12.212 and DoD FAR Supp. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, and notwithstanding any other FAR or other contractual clause to the contrary in any agreement into which this End User License Agreement may be incorporated, Customer may provide to Government end user or, if this Agreement is direct, Government end user will acquire, the Software and Documentation with only those rights set forth in this End User License Agreement. Use of either the Software or Documentation or both constitutes agreement by the Government that the Software and Documentation are “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” and constitutes acceptance of the rights and restrictions herein.
Limited Warranty
Subject to the limitations and conditions set forth herein, Advocatetanmoy warrants that commencing from the date of shipment to Customer (but in case of resale by an authorized Advocatetanmoy reseller, commencing not more than ninety (90) days after original shipment by Advocatetanmoy), and continuing for a period of the longer of (a) ninety (90) days or (b) the warranty period (if any) expressly set forth as applicable specifically to software in the warranty card accompanying the product of which the Software is a part (the “Product”) (if any): (a) the media on which the Software is furnished will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use; and (b) the Software substantially conforms to the Documentation.

This limited warranty extends only to the Customer who is the original licensee. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of Advocatetanmoy and its suppliers and licensors under this limited warranty will be (i) replacement of defective media and/or (ii) at Advocatetanmoy’s option, repair, replacement, or refund of the purchase price of the Software, in both cases subject to the condition that any error or defect constituting a breach of this limited warranty is reported to Advocatetanmoy or the party supplying the Software to Customer, if different than Advocatetanmoy, within the warranty period. Advocatetanmoy or the party supplying the Software to Customer may, at its option, require return of the Software as a condition to the remedy. In no event does Advocatetanmoy warrant that the Software is error free or that Customer will be able to operate the Software without problems or interruptions. In addition, due to the continual development of new techniques for intruding upon and attacking networks, Advocatetanmoy does not warrant that the Software or any equipment, system or network on which the Software is used will be free of vulnerability to intrusion or attack.
Restrictions. This warranty does not apply if the Software, Product or any other equipment upon which the Software is authorized to be used (a) has been altered, except by Advocatetanmoy or its authorized representative, (b) has not been installed, operated, repaired, or maintained in accordance with instructions supplied by Advocatetanmoy, (c) has been subjected to abnormal physical or electrical stress, misuse, negligence, or accident; or (d) is licensed, for beta, evaluation, testing or demonstration purposes for which Advocatetanmoy does not charge a purchase price or license fee.

VALUE OF THIS COMPLAINT Rs.- 90,94881/-

The Hon’ble President and his Companion members of the State Commission

The humble complaint of the complainant above-named most respectfully submits as follows:-

The claim in brief

Standard Fire Policy was taken for nine consecutive months for 44,048 Mt Non- Cooking coal@ Rs. 2043.22 PMt.
Due to unilateral imposition of the of Policy Excess at the second and third phase of policy spanning for nine months of a continuous Standard Fire Insurance Policy was settled by Rs.71.728/- against the claim of Rs. 80,59,881 /-due to spontaneous combustion caused huge loss.
The Lose in brief

The first incident of fire was reported by the insured STC on 25.01.2006 to the united India insurance Co., against that they replied vide letter dated 25.01.2006, inter alia directed not to disturb the affected area and let the stock remain as it was with the ignite state and then the second incident of fire was reported by STC on 16.02.2006, against that insurance replied on 17.02.2006 inter alia stated that unless and until there is any physical lose of the coal stock due to any insured peril for which physical inspection has to be carried out by IRDA accredited surveyor they will not entertain any incidents although reported by STC from time to time, then further on 21.02.2006 STC wrote that without manipulation of the pile of coal there was no possibility to quantify the loses and by the same letter they requested for appointment of surveyor to measure the lose. Then other incidents of fire was reported 21.04.2006, 26.04.2006, 08.05.2006, 23.05.2006 and 12.05.2006, which was as per report received from STC appointed surveyor in the occasion of insurance`s failure to appoint their surveyor to ascertain the lose. The dates of loses were intimated as per volumetric measurement of gross lose of 4439.364MTs as the under writers did not authorize segregation of the burnt coal and the same time request for surveyor from the side of insurance also went unheeded. After a hectic exercise of correspondence a surveyor from the side of insurance were issued after a long lapses of time, and a joint survey report on 28.08.2006 was prepared and the lose was estimated 3948.590 MT which is only 11% less of above estimation.

The law points

Whether Fire Insurance Tariff (Wording & Rates) is a Public Document like Railways & Custom Tariff and whether the insurance company has any right to change and or alter it for imposing Special Condition of policy deductibles or excess at heir sweet will?

Whether Joint Survey Report of Assessment of Loss by two IRDA accredited Surveyors representing insured and insurers can be disowned under any circumstances when it is recommended by the Insurers?

Whether when there is no “Duration Clause” under Fire Policy, then in that circumstances a claim of any duration is payable under the policy can be repudiated under Indian Contract Act?.

Whether a single incident of continuous Self Combustion of Coal can be segregated in parts subsequently in different occation on the visual basis of reporting after reporting the first incident to adjust the Special Policy Excess clauses in favour of insurer?
Whether the Insurer can go against their own direction?

THE POLICY

1. That the State Trading Corporation(Here in after STC) of India is a Govt of India undertaking entered into a insurance contract with the United India Insurance Company Ltd( Here in after UII) and had taken Standard Fire Insurance Policy for for a period of three months.

That under the first two policy period covering a period of six months from 26. 10 .05 to 25. 4. 2006, in its policy paper included a clause of ”policy excess” of Rs. 10,000/- for each and every loss, which the Insurer and the Insured were well aware and mutually agreed. and on the same basis , for the third time when the policy was extended for a period of three months (26 .4 2006 TO 25.7 2006), it was understood that the same condition as agreed for the first two policies would be extended. Policy proposal from the side of STC was advanced with the same impression of facts that the policy Excess will be Rs. 10,000/- as earlier. But later shockingly it was discovered that the insurance company unilaterally imposed “Special excess of 2% of sum insured subject to minimum of RS. 20 Lacks” clause without the knowledge of STC and in violation of provisions made in Indian Contract Act 1882. Discovering this STC immediately registered their protest with insurance company.

4. That the complainant STC in several instances communicated with the Insurance Company highlighting it`s Unilateral imposition of 20 Lacs of Policy Excess in the third policy, but the Insurance Company chose to be remain silent . STC took the pain to rise the issue with Insurance Regulatory authority pointing the absurdity of the of the Policy Access clause if taken in its face value, over looking the violation of Indian Contract Act against a Govt . Company( STC) by an another Govt company( United Insurance) of imposition of unilateral “Excess” clause. .
5. Xerox copies of the letter dated 30.8.2006 to the UII and the Communication to the IRDA dated 1.9.2006 are annexed herewith and collectively marked as C , D (INTERNAL PAGE NO- )

6. That after discovery and being aware of the unilateral imposition of the extraordinary and exorbitant Special excess of Rs. 20 Lacs on the third policy period , STC approached National Insurance , Kolkata DO-XI 19 R.N Mukherjee Road Kol-1. National Insurance ( Another Govt Company indulging in the same general insurance business) agreed with the standard Policy Excess of Rs. 10,000/- and issued a policy affected for a period from 26.07.06 to 24.10.06 as per then prevailing All India Fire Tariff norms and regulation. This proved beyond doubt that UII is indulging in “restrictive trade practice” along with “unfair trade practice” in the area of Insurance business. Due to this STC incurred huge losses.
In this policy its spontaneous combustion clause suggests that ” in case of any smoke comming from coal stock immediately water is to be spread in order to cooling down the coal”
A xerox copy of the policy dated27.7.2006 with the National Insurance is attached here with and marked as E (INTERNAL PAGE NO- )

7. That by a letter dated 17.7.2006 STC while pointing out the above mentioned fact inter alia wrote to the UII–
“ You have never informed us about the above condition( 20 lacs policy excess) while we paid the premium to you . The “ standard Fire and Special Peril Policy” for which we proposed for the insurance and the policy you have issued to us must be governed by the Fire Tariff Of IRDA in respect of rates /wordings/ endorsements/ add- on covers etc. and as per norms all Fire policy must be in strict conformity with the codified provision s of All India Fire Tariff( AIFT). We request you please appreciate that we, as a public Sector Company can not compromise with the risk coverage at all. as an underwriter , of course you had the option not to accept the risk . But having accepted the risk under AIFT you can not unilaterally impose any condition outside the ambit of the AIFA, on the back door without the knowledge of the insured. We consider this as a gross violation of the Tariff.”
By this letter STC requested and call upon the insurance company to correct the anomaly .
A xerox copy of the letter dated 17.7.2006 is attached here with and marked as – F- (INTERNAL PAGE NO- )

8. That by a letter dated 1.11.2006 to the IRDA, STC made a representation about the failure of the United Insurance to supply the Proposal form .
Again by a letter dated 1.11.2006 STC made a heartily request to the United Insurance to supply the proposal pertaining to the third insurance being policy number 03 /11/06/11/00000096 which they failed to supply within the 30 days of acceptance of the Policy . in this letter STC wrote –
“ In view of the above , we would once again request you to kindly comply with IRDA regulations. Since the dispute of unilateral imposition of Rs. 20 Lacs excess under the above policy was referred to IRDA, We need to send the proposal form to them for their decision.”
A xerox copy of the letter dated 1.11.06 to the IRDA and United Insurance attached herewith and collectively marked as G1, G2 (INTERNAL PAGE NO- )

9. That On 6.11.2006 the United insurance supplied the much-expecting Proposal form which was signed by the STC at the time of acceptance of the policy. This proposal Form was devoid of any Policy Access condition and in printed formate. but after receiving it , it was found that last page ( Page Three) at the side of the Declaration somebody penned “ As per your proforma bill dated 25.4.06“ which was initially not at the time of making. STC promptly communicate this over telephone.
A Xerox copy of the Proposal dated 25.4.06 has been attached herewith and marked as H (INTERNAL PAGE NO- )

10. That by a letter dated 18.7.2006 UII inter alia accepted the following-
“ As per your contention that Standard Fire and Special Peril Policy is governed by the Fire Tariff you are correct in this regard. However , imposition of excess/ special condition warranties and endorsement are imposed considering the exposer/ type/ nature of risk by the underwriters during the time of acceptance”
The above mentioned Proposal does not support the view of the UII and further more imposition of any thing contrary to the standard Tariff regime is contravention of law to deprive the lawful claim of the insured , in this case the victim is STC.
Again in this letter UII put blames on the STC that it had discussed the matter pertaining to the Policy excess with STC official MR. Sharma( Manager Marketing) is pure invention,imagination and conjecture, which is cooked up and after thought at the occasion of the claim. Without prejudice under the strict proof of evidence STC is challenging the UII.
A Xerox copy of the letter dated 18.7.06 attached herewith and marked as I (INTERNAL PAGE NO- )

11. That the proposal was preferred on 25. 4.06 from the side of the STC and after due deliberation it was accepted by the UII on 26.4.25 for a period of three month dated from 26.4.06 to 25.7.06 . Receipt was issued on 28.4.2006. But policy schedule document ( ANNEXURE A-3) was manufactured after the policy had been taken out by the STC . The Computer generated paper shows the date of origin of that paper , which is AKG L36361-03/05/2006. IN THIS DOCUMENT 20 LACS POLICY ACCESS CLAUSE IMPOSED WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF STC. This mischief had been organized to frustrate our claim under the third phase of extended policy.

THE BACKGROUND

12. That by a letter dated 25.1 2006 for the first time to the United insurance, STC informed the following-
“ WE have been informed today morning by ———- our Clearing & handling Agent that they have noticed some smoke in the stocks of coal lying at Vizag, which they put of by sprinkling water on it. This has been intimated to our surveyor M/S BSI Inspectorate India Pvt Ltd regarding above incident.”
By this letter inter alia request was made to deploy a surveyor from the side of UII.
A Xerox copy of the letter dated of STC 25.1.06 attached herewith and marked as J

13. In reply to the said intimidation vide their letter Ref 031100/ Fire-CLM/06 dated 25.01.06 inter alia instructed “ not to disturb the affected area and let it remain as it was “. Due to this standing instruction, the surveyor on behalf could not able to ascertain the actual loss due to fire .

A Xerox copy of the letter dated 25.1.06 of UII attached herewith and marked as- K

14. The second intimation had been communicated on behalf of STC to the UII by a letter dated 16.2.06. in response to the to that letter UII by a letter dated 17.2. 06 inter alia stating –
“ Unless and until there is any physical loss of coal stock due to any insured peril for which physical inspection has been carried out by IRDA accredited surveyor, we will not be in position to proceed to entertain any of your such alleged incidents being reported by you from time to time . Please take note of the same and revert back”
Again by a letter dated 21.2.2006 STC inter alia mentioned -” In view of your advice not to disturb the area , it was not possible for us to ascertain the losses. Please appreciate the fact that unless the peril is dug up and brunt out ash removed/ segregated it would not be possible to quantify the losses.
You are , therefore, requested to depute your representative/ surveyor to Visakapattanam so as to conduct survey in presence of our surveyors, BSI Inspectorate india Pvt. Ltd and ascertain the loss quantity “.

A Xerox copy of the letter dated 17.2.06 and 21.2.2006 attached herewith and marked as -L1 ,L2

15. That when the first incident was reported to the United India Insurance , it put an embargo for not disturbing the affected stock and leave it as it is and as it is where. STC surveyor M/S Inspectorate Griffith India ( IGI), an accredit surveyor time to time took the volumetric measurement of the stock and the same was communicated to the UII accordingly. By a letter dated 14.7.2007 STC gave a feed back to the UII, inter alia citing the policy wise loss and the quantum of loss thereunder assessed by volumetric measurement. It was measured a loss of 4439.364MTS Then again by a letter dated dated 25.7.06 STC finally intimated to the UII that as per volumetric measurement total Spontaneous combat ion of coal stands 4439.364 MT. Due to non segregation or bifurcation stipulated by the standing instruction on part of the UII, only volumetric measurement could be possible and M/S Inspectorate Griffith India ( IGI) . In this regard standard practice and survey norms were followed. Later in there joint measurement UII’S surveyor also followed the same standard and norms. as a Public sector company STC could not accept any unscientific methodology. Full particular of the incident is as below-

16. That by several letter STC intimated the occurrence of fire and requested the United Insurance to appoint their surveyor . By a letter dated 11.8.06 STC in formed that if united India fails to a- ppoint surveyor then in that occasion STC would appoint IRDA acredited “A” category surveyor and put up the claim bill to the insurance company accompanied with the survey fees bill . In this regard STC appointed M/S J. B Boda Surveyors Pvt Ltd to assess the loss.
A Xerox copy of the letter dated 11.8.06 attached herewith and marked as N ( Internal page no )

17. That a series of communication had been send to the UII and consequential request of appointing of surveyor had been made. UII choose not to pay heed of this . From the day one that is 25.1.2006, when it was for the first time reported that smoke had been detected on the superficial level of the stock till the end of the third policy period , the fire was never extinguished in depth of the pile / bulk of the stock. Only an honest attempt was made to stop it by sprinkling water on the outer surface. That attempt might stopped gussying out of the smoke but never ceased to exist at the bottom of the pile. If there no un- intelligent embargo was put to the STC and had the STC been allowed to dig or segregate the pile , may the fire could be stopped to spread its tentacle. Fire never extinguished , so occasional vomiting of smoke is very natural or consequential. STC reported the same and requested to appoint surveyor promptly. Inspectorate Griffit India Pvt Ltd, a well known survey agency was deputed by the STC to assess loss periodically and the same was passed to the UII. UII was duty bound to appoint their surveyor to assess the quantum of loss then to believe STC or its survey or Inspectorate Griffit India Pvt Ltd, who made volumetric measurement time to time and finally the quantum of loss assessed a loss of 4439.364MTs. By a letter dated 25.7.2006, this was communicated to the UII.
A Xerox copy of the letter dated 25.7.06 attached herewith and marked as N1 ( Internal page no- )

18. That after a long time after the completion of the policy period ended on 25.7.06 , united insurance appointed one surveyor Mr Prasad Babu . By a letter dated 14.8. 2006 United Insurance communicated this to the STC . Mr Prasad babu By his letter dated 16. 8.06 confirmed his appointment as a surveyor . In his letter he mentioned about his personal knowledge-
“ As per the information gathered by me that you have imported thermal coal in bulk was 44,048 MT and stored at the above two plots for for the period from July , 2005 to till date and during this period number of times or occasions , they have reported that smokes was emanated from these due to spontaneous combustion and when ever they were observing smoke they use to sprinkle water and they have not sought any service of VPT fire wing.
It was also further ascertained by me that your Surveyor M/S Inspectorate Griffith India Private Ltd, have conducted joint physical stock verifications, issued reports and based on those report, you have intimated to the insurers through letter dated 25th July that 4,439.36MT was involved or damaged due to reported spontaneous combustion on number of occasions, kindly provide me such copies of survey reports along with measurements.”
As per his demand all necessary papers were supplied. In his letter inter alia he had shown interest in joint physical examination for volumetric measurement.

19. That on 28.08. 06 a joint verification was made by D.S Prasad Babu and the stock verified stands 40099.410 MT against the discharged quantity of 44048 MT. So apparent loss of stock due to combustion was 3948.59 MT. of thermal coal.
A xerox copy of the stock verification certificate dated 28 .08. 06 attached herewith and marked as P ( Internal page no- )

20. That by a letter dated 22.1 2008 to the UII, the STC inter alia registered their objection about the joint Survay report by the following way in page no 1-

“ It was imperative for the surveyor to let us know about the assessment of loss before submission of the Survay report but your Surveyor preferred to keep us in dark in the matter contrary to the market practice”
In this letter STC pointed out some major inconsistency or contradiction of the Survey Report.
A Xerox copy of the letter dated 22.1.2008 by STC attached herewith and marked as Q ( Internal page no- )

21. That again by a letter dated 23.6.2008 STC clarified the whole matter encompassing the loss along with the policy excess matter and an assessment of loss in terms of money to the UII. in this letter in page number 5 the loss computed Rs 43,94,832/- for the first two policy period and Rs 621764/- for the third policy period taking under consideration of 20 lacs policy excess. Though STC never recognize this unilateral imposition of policy excess. With all honesty , and conformity with the policy contract the assessment was made . The total loss was calculated Rs. 50,16,595/- after deducting policy excess in each reported incident. Though there was several reporting of the incident to the UII for appointing of the surveyor to assess the loss then and there and settle it accordingly. However the STC always maintained that there exist but only single case of fire due to self combustion which never ceased or passivated and started again afresh to constitute a second incident. But for the taming and controlling the escalating controversies settled it once for all with Rs. 50,16,595/-.
Unfortunately the matter never settled so STC are orced to start this proceeding.
A xerox copy of the stock verification certificate dated 23 .06. 08 attached herewith and marked as R ( Internal page no- )

22. That D.S Prasad Babucould could able to made his observation only on 6 th October 2008 . Inter alia in his observation in page no two that-
“ even thou , the cost of above observed shortage of imported coal works out to Rs 80, 66, 969. 37/—- but after application number of excess considering number of events or accidents, locations, finally net loss assessment is NIL”.
Prasad Babu came to this conclusion after putting several blames on the head of STC, however he never disclosed in his letter that why he not appreciated his own measurement done in joint stock verification dated 28.8.06.
A Xerox copy of the letter dated 6.10.2008 by Prasad Babu attached herewith and marked as RI ( Internal page no- )

23. That by a letter 17 Apl.2008 regarding the anomalies in the survey report the STC categorically addressed the issues point -wise but there was no response either from the side of UII or its Surveyor, then again by a letter dated 5.11.2008 to the Surveyor D.S Prasad Babu again clarified the whole objections and the back grounds of the reported incidents. In this letter inter alia in the para no 11 the STC clarified-
“ technically there was only one loss of spontaneous combustion in each of the stake during the whole policy period( from Oct 2005 to Jul 2006) of three policies since there was no destacking/ rolling etc of the both coal stacks( as per instructions of the underwriter vide their letter— 21.1. 06). As IGI, our Surveyor does not know insurance policy conditions , they noted and considered the dates of loss only when fire surfaced on the top of the coal stacks. Scientifically, spontaneous combustion should continue ceaselessly in undisturbed coal stacks untill and unless the oxidization which results the combustion can be stopped by destaking or by any other means. From the view of the matter scientifically it is a single loss and the dates of losses are not relevant at all but STC reported losses to the underwriters from time to time as in event IGI ‘s report and thus the under writer need s to consider their relevance vis- a-vis the impact of varying policy excess.

A Xerox copy of the letter dated 17.4.2008 and 5.11.2008 by STC attached herewith and marked as S1 , S2 ( Internal page no- )

24. That subsequently on the basis of the report submitted by Prasad Babu, United India insurance by its letter dated 24.7.2009 agreed to settle the claim ( claim no. 031100/11/05/11/90000010) arising out of damages caused by fire firstly reported no 25.1.06 and it was reported for the last time and finally on 8.5.2006. In their settlement letter they put policy excess Rs Ten Lacs for the second policy period which is completely wrong and without any basis and in this regard no body has any in formation of this . This has only 10000/- policy excess. this one is pure invention to frustrate the claim of the STC . And about Rs 20 lacks excess STC always objected the same in all quarters.

United India insurance agreed to settle the claim with a paltry amount in the following manner–

DATE OF LOSS WITH POLICY NO LOSS OF QUANTITY VALUE POLICY EXCESS NET LOSS ASSESSED
25/1/2006, 26/10/05 TO 25/1/2006

A Xerox copy of the letter dated 24.7.2009 by UII attached herewith and marked as T ( Internal page no- )

25. That Insurance Surveyor, Mr. D.S. Prasad Babu submitted Survey Report recommending repudiation of claim on ground that spontaneous fire was continuously occurring and claim is not payable. There is no Duration Clause in Standard Fire And Special Perils Policy taken by STC. So, the Surveyor was utterly wrong in claim repudiation on that ground. So, Survey Report violated the policy condition and biased/motivated and prejudicial to the interest of STC. If, the insurance Surveyors contention is taken as correct and claim is considered as a single case continuance spontaneous combustion of coal, only one policy excess of Rs.10,000/- shall be deducted. as the first incident was reported in the consumption of the first policy period, which has 10,000/- standadr policy excess. The payable loss should be (3949.59 MT X Rs.2043.22)-Rs10000/- = Rs 80,59,881/

26. That In a joint meeting with United India, Surveyor and STC at Kolkata Regional Office of United on 30.09.08 it was decided that Surveyor should review the matter and obtain further details/information/ clarification, if any from STC. A detail letter was sent to Surveyor by STC. Accordingly, the Surveyor submitted his Addendum Report (Ref.PB:UI:STC:024:2009 dated 25/3/09) and re-assessed the loss of only Rs.9.49,519.80. This was contested by STC as Surveyor had planted different date(s) of loss on the third policy so that major part of the loss falls under the last policy. Details are as under :
Date(s) of loss reported by STC Date(s) of loss changed by Surveyor
24/26th February, 2006 27/28th April, 2006
14/16th March, 2006 3rd/4th May, 2006
27/29th April,2006 27/29th May, 2006

Surveyor appointed in mid-August, 2006 (after several months of loss) and can not change date(s) of loss under any circumstances. This is perennially an arbitrary action of Surveyor and proves his biasness beyond any doubt.

A Xerox copy of the letter dated 20.8.2009 by STC attached herewith and marked as U ( Internal page no- )

27. That In mid-2009 a Voucher of Rs.71,728/- was sent by United India to STC as against Surveyor’s above recommendation of Rs.9.49,519.80. The insurance co.’s Divisional Office provided a xerox copy of an Endorsement bearing No.031100/ 11/ 05/11/ 8200082 which states imposition of Special Excess of minimum of Rs.10 Lacs on the 2nd policy No.031100/11/05/00508 which was evidently issued on expiry date of policy (25/04/06 –the system generated date on Endt.) without any knowledge of STC whatsoever prior to that date in 2009.Interestingly, United India Ins. Co. provided all insurance documents to Surveyors but evidently this totally arbitrary Endorsement No.031100/ 11/ 05/11/ 8200082 was not given to Surveyors else the assessment could not be for Rs.9.5 Lacs. This arbitrary Special Excess on every loss date had reduced claim form Rs.9.50 Lacs to Rs. 71,728/-. The issuance of Claim Voucher admits liability under the policy. The matter was taken up with Divisional Office/ Regional Office/Head Office of United but no response received by STC so afar. Approach by Director of STC to CMD/United India could not also evoke any response.

28. That by a letter dated 8.7.2011 United India insurance communicated the STC—–
“ With reference to your letter Ref 574 dated 20th August 2009 regarding the above , we would like to inform you that we have once again checked our underwriting and claim file and come to a conclusion that our stands regarding settlement of last three claims( for value Rs. 2,86,049/- Rs.-153055.30 and Rs. 15,47,723.40) remain unchanged.”
It is evident from their own admission that how deliberately they delay the process as they are responding on 8.7.2011 to a letter which delivered them two years back. This high handedness proof their culpable laziness to frustrate a legitimate claim. However they accepted their liability . Which is Rs.71.728/- only (according to clause 13 of the policy documents) . Which is prejudicial to the interest of the STC. Which is against the claim of STC.

29. HUMBLE SUBMISSIONS BY THE COMPLAINANT

i. The claim was reported by STC Kolkata on 25.01.2006 to United India Ins. Co without mentioning the loss quantity. United responded on same day and advised ‘not to disturb the affected area’. Loss quantity informed to Insurance company as per report of Inspectorate Griffith India (IGI), Surveyor.United informed vide letter dated 12.06.06 that claim falls within stipulated Policy Excess limit and stated that ‘thus the alleged claim stands as NO CLAIM’. Second repudiation letter issued by United.United had not even appointed Surveyor for assessment despite repeated reminders for six (6) months and STC was compelled to appoint IRDA accredited Surveyor, M/s J.B.Boda, keeping United informed of this Surveyor appointment to lodge the claim bill on the strength of M/s J.B.Boda, Survey Report.When STC appointed M/s. J.B.Boda Surveyor by formally informing United India , they were perhaps unnerved and ultimately United India appointed Mr. D.S.Prasad Babu, Surveyor from Visakapatnam in Aug. 06. There was a Joint Survey of loss on 28.08.06 quantifying the then available stock 40099.410 MT and thus the total quantity loss stood to 3949.59 MT and not 4439.410 MT as intimated earlier. The variation is only 11% as claimed by STC. Therefore, the gross estimated loss stands to around Rs.80 Lacs. Special Policy excess (deductibles) of Rs.20 Lacs on third policy period 25/4/06 to 24/07/06, net adjusted payable loss stood around Rs.38 Lacs. THE JOINT SURVEY REORT BY TWO IRDA ACCRIDITED SURVEYORS (both insured and insurers) IS THE MOST VALUABE VITAL DOCUMENT FOR STC IN CASE OF ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS. Since the Special Excess of Rs.20 Lacs for each loss was imposed by United in last policy (period 25.04.06 to 24.07.06) would eat away almost the entire loss, matter taken-up with IRDA against Tariff policy gross deviation by United and about the legality & propriety of Special Excess which virtually takes back the promise of policy itself. The IRDA disposed the complaint because STC was informed about Special Excess of Rs.20 lacs before accepting policy by United India in their Proforma Bill. So, complain was rejected. The IRDA did not consider the legal point that the then Tariff Rates & Tariff Wording in 2006 were public document and there is no provisions for any kind of Special Excess as per Tariff Rates & Tariff Wording and therefore, the insurance companies has no authority to change the policy contrary to Tariff.

ii. No scientific calculation of Spontaneous combustion in undisturbed coal stack is possible unless survay is conducted immediately after the loss. debris are need to removed and de- staking is done to stop the continuity of the peril and minimize further losses.
iii. The opposite party UII incurs liability by committing offence under section of 420 IPC by causing wrongful loss to the complainant through imposition of Policy Access fraudulently without the knowledge of STC and gain wrongfully through the policy excess. UII has committed breach of confidence which is worst kind of mal practises on part of UII and caused injury to the business interest of the complainant.
iv. From all circumstances including act and conduct of UII, it is amount to gross deficiency of service to the complainant.

30. That the cause of action arose on and from dated 8.7.2011 when the opposite party UII through its Sr. Div.

Dismissal from office – Format of the dismissal order

Posted on February 18, 2019 by Advocatetanmoy in FORMAT and tagged Dismissal, Service Law.

Sir Arthur Trevor Harries

Chief Justice

The Calcutta High Court

Order

A full and thorough enquiry was held by Mr. Justice K.C. Das Gupta into the charges made against Sri P.K. Bose the Registrar of the Original Side of this Court. Sri P.K. Bose was represented by eminent Counsel and every opportunity was given to him to meet the charges and put forward his explanation and defence. The learned Judge however in a full and very carefully considered report found Sri P.K. Bose guilty of serious charges involving moral turpitude and dishonesty and further he was of opinion that Sri P.K. Bose was by reason thereof unfit to hold the said office of Registrar.

I considered this report and the evidence most anxiously and found myself in entire agreement with the learned Judge. Sri P.K. Bose was, in my view, clearly guilty of the matter comprised in the charges specified by Mr. Justice K.C. Das Gupta. I considered that prima facie the conduct of Sri P.K. Bose warranted dismissal and I therefore gave him notice under article 311(2) of the Constitution of India to show cause against the action proposed against him, namely, dismissal.

On the 31st August, 1951, Sri P.K. Bose showed cause before me and I heard Sri Sachin Chaudhuri his counsel and Sri P.K. Bose personally. In all the circumstances this is not a case in which I can properly show any leniency. Sri P.K. Bose has abused the trust and confidence reposed in him and has been found guilty of serious malpractices and dishonesty. Conduct such as this of an officer of the status of the Registrar of the Original Side of this Court is unpardonable and must be dealt with severely. I therefore dismiss Sri P.K. Bose from his office as Registrar of the Original Side of the Court, the dismissal to take effect from the 1st September, 1951.

Let a copy of this order be served on Sri P.K. Bose.
