BANGALORE BASED CONSUMER COURT SAID THAT MATERNITY BENEFITS NOT JUST FOR LIVE BIRTHS


A Consumer Court in Bangalore city criticised a private insurance company’s contention that is applicable only to live births. The judges slammed the firm’s decision to deny a Bengaluru techie her policy claim after she had to abort her 23-week twin foetuses. After a five-year battle by the victim, the court rapped the firm for acting unjustly and ordered full payment as well as compensation, and stated that childbirth doesn’t indicate living or dead child. It is a settled proposition of law that a child in its mother’s womb is entitled to all rights.
