SHAMA FATIMA Ss. 118 & 124---Life Insurance---Accidental death indemnity and death benefit, claim of---Payment of liquidated damages on late settlement of claims---Scope---Appellant Insurance Corporation impugned order of Insurance Tribunal whereby application of claimant under S. 118 of the Insurance Ordinance, 2000 was allowed and she was held entitled to receive insurance claim along with liquidated damages on account of accidental death of her husband/deceased---Contention of Insurance Corporation, inter alia, was that claimant had not provided FIR, post-mortem report and other documents to prove that the insured deceased had died in a road accident, therefore impugned order of Insurance Tribunal ought to be set aside---Validity---Contention of Insurance Corporation was not tenable as sole witness for the Insurance Corporation stated that he had investigated death of the insured and found it to be due to road accident---Appellant Insurance Corporation had not made the case that the said witness was in league with claimant or that he made statements against the facts, so statement of said witness excluded necessity of the documents required by the appellant Insurance Corporation and was therefore sufficient to conclude that the insured had met an accidental death---Claimant was therefore entitled to receive accidental death indemnity and death benefit---No illegality existed in impugned order---Appeal was dismissed, in circumstances.
