Mr. Arjun Kundra, Advocate submits that the petitioner is not authorized agent or dealer of Insurance Company-Royal Sundaram General Insurance Company Ltd. and Permanent Lok Adalat has wrongly declared it authorized dealer of Insurance Company while passing impugned order. The said order may create its liability at a later stage. The impugned order may be modified or clarified in the light of claim lodged by respondent No.2.

Without seeking response of respondents, this Court finds it appropriate to dispose of the instant petition with the observation that the Permanent Lok Adalat while passing final order shall consider claim of petitioner whether it is actually dealer of Insurance Company or not. The observations made in impugned order may not be treated as absolute.
