No insurance claim for theft committed without forcible entry, under the policy for burglary/house breaking
Aug 24, 2016 : Dtf.in NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has ruled that a forcible entry is required for a claim to be allowed under the policy for burglary/house breaking. Citing a 2004 SC judgment, Justice Rao said, “In the absence of violence or force, the insured cannot claim indemnification against the insurance company. The terms of the policy have to be construed as it is and we cannot add or subtract something. Howsoever liberally we may construe the policy, we cannot take liberalism to the extent of substituting the words which are not intended. “…in common parlance, the term ‘burglary’ would mean theft but it has to be preceded with force or violence. If the element of force or violence is not present, then the insured cannot claim compensation against theft from the insurance company.” According to the counsel for the Appellant, forcible and violent entry is not necessary for making a valid claim under the policy. The claim of the Appellant was repudiated by the insurance company on 31.03.1998 on the ground that the alleged loss did not come within the purview of the insurance policy. The PSU’s appeal has been dismissed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. More: SC Judgement dated 22.08.2016 – M/s. Industrial Promotion & Investment Corp. of Orissa Ltd. Vs.
