    LIC's Order Denying Payment For Death Under Alcohol Influence Overturned

    Insurer ordered to pay accidental cover after it denied claim Insurance companies reserve the right to deny a claim if they find valid grounds.

    They can do so only in the first three years of the policy.
    The policyholder had purchased the LIC Jeevan Anand policy with profits and accident benefits.

    The report added that this included Rs 2,35,000 as the sum insured and Rs 2,35,000 on account of accident benefits.
    As per the report, the insured's father approached the district forum, where the order was reversed, stating there was no conclusive evidence to suggest the death was under the influence of alcohol.

    Though the Forensic Science Laboratory report showed the presence of 59.45 mg per cent ethyl alcohol in the policyholder's blood, the forum said no urine sample was taken during the post-mortem.
