Case Summary: CWP/11860/2026 The Punjab and Haryana High Court dismissed Bajaj General Insurance Company's challenge to a Permanent Lok Adalat award directing it to pay Rs. 1,50,000 with interest plus Rs. 20,000 compensation to a shop owner for a theft loss. The court held that the Lok Adalat properly found the bank (not the insurer) at fault for failing to disclose policy terms, and that PLA awards are final and binding under Section 22E of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, with no manifest procedural or jurisdictional error warranting High Court interference. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
