compensation money but the Op has avoided the same in the plea that he has in transfer the insurance premium money to the concerned insurance company and company has not yet paid single rupees in favor of the complainant. If the Insurance premium money was transfer to the insurance company by the Op and the company has not received the same then how the company has not yet compensated the complainant for his crop loses like other crop insurance.

- Xerox copy of the page of transaction of the deduction of Rs 2652 by the respondent to words the insurance premium payment for crop insurance .
Op has received the notice from the commission but OP neither appear beforethe commission nor file their version Hence Op set exparte from 30.04.2022 . So Op has no any interest in this case.
In the view of above in detailI feel and observed that OP fail to discharged its duty and compensated the complainant for his crops lost as per with the other crop insurants of his panchyat along with an interest of rupees. By which complainant is under mental and physical paid and pressure for his crops lost for that season period for which heinsured his crops through the OP.
