#National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission

The NCDRC ruled that the insurer, not the claimant, must establish that a pre-existing disease was concealed when the policy was taken. This shifts the evidential burden onto insurers in death-claim disputes, safeguarding policyholders from arbitrary refusals.

Bombay High Court rules that orders of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission under Section 67 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 must be appealed exclusively to the Supreme Court, stripping High Courts of supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227. The decision reinforces statutory finality and restricts alternative legal remedies for aggrieved parties.
