PER JUSTICE J.M. MALIK 1. Counsel for the parties present in both the cases. Arguments heard. It is transpired that the main insurance policy is with the New India Assurance Company. This objection should have been raised at the earliest possible opportunity. The written statement filed by the LIC is conspicuous by its silence. Cases are pending for the last three years. Three years have elapsed and complainant has been harassed to no end.
