Fire Insurance Under Indian Insurance Law





>...
>...

According to S. 2 (6a), the "fire insurance" means the business impact, other than by chance in any other class of insurance, contracts of insurance against loss of or in connection with a fire or other phenomena, are usually among the insured risk fire insurance business.


According to Halsbury, to a contract of insurance which the insurer agrees to indemnify the insured for consideration to a certain extent and under certain circumstances, against loss or damage by fire, what can happen secured property during a specified period.
Thus, fire insurance is a contract whereby a person seeking insurance protection, entered into a contract with the insurer to indemnify him against loss of property or in connection with the fire and lightning, explosion, etc. This rule is designed to provide one property and other items loss caused by complete or partial damage in the fire.


In a narrow sense, a contract of fire insurance is one:


1 Whose principle object is to secure from loss or damage caused by fire.


1 Whose principle object is to secure from loss or damage caused by fire.

...

1 Whose principle object is to secure from loss or damage caused by fire.

...

3.Osiguravatelj who has no interest in safety or destruction of insured property, other than the obligations assumed by contract.

...

there is no legal act that regulates insurance against fire, as in the case of marine insurance is regulated by the Indian Marine Insurance, 1963.Indijski Insurance Act, 1938 mainly dealt with the regulation of insurance as such, and not to any general or especially the principles of law relating to fire and other insurance contracts. Thus, the general insurance business (nationalization) Act, 1872. in the absence of any legal act on the issue, courts in India have been in business on fire insurance have relied so far on the court decisions of courts and opinions of the English lawyers.


In determining the value of property damaged or destroyed by fire in compensation in a fire insurance policy, the insured value of the property, which was to be measured. Prima facie that the value was measured relative to market value before and after the loss. However, this estimation method is not applicable in cases where the market value does not represent the real value of the property insured, and where the property is used by the insured as a home, or to conduct business. In such cases, the measure of damages is the cost of restoration. In the case of Lucas v. New Zealand Insurance Co Ltd [1] where the insured property was purchased and held as income producing investments, and thus the court ruled that the proper measure of compensation for damage to property by fire is the cost of restoration.


insurable interests


A person who is so interested in the property as to benefit from its existence and destruction of prejudice is said to have insurable interest in the property. Such a person can secure the property against fire.


interest in the property must hold at the beginning and at the time of loss. If not there at the beginning of the contract can not be the subject of insurance, and if it does not exist at the time of loss, suffering no loss and no need of compensation. So where is the sale of secured assets, and it was damaged in a fire after that, he suffers no loss.


the risks targeted INSURANCE POLICY


date of conclusion of insurance contracts is a policy issue is different from accepting or taking risks. Section 64-VB only provides broadly that the insurer can not take the risk before the date of receipt of the premium. Rule 58 of the Insurance Rules, 1939 says the advance payment of premiums in respect of the sections (!) Of Section 64 VB that allows the insurer to assume the risk of date onwards. If the applicant does not want a particular date, it is possible for the applicant to negotiate with the insurer on that notion. That is why Apex Court said that the final acceptance that the insured, or insurer depends only on how the negotiations to ensure progress. Although the following risks that seem to be covered by the policy of fire insurance, but are not fully covered under the policy. Some of the contentious areas are as follows:


fire: destruction of or damage to property insured by its own fermentation, natural heating and spontaneous combustion, or undergoing any heating or drying process can not be treated as damage due to fire. For example, paint and chemicals in the plant undergo heat treatment, and thus damaged by fire is not covered. Furthermore, burning of property insured by order of any public authority is excluded from the scope of coverage.


Lightning: Lightning can cause fire damage or other damage, such as the roof is broken by falling chimney struck or cracks in the building due to lightning. Both fire and other damage caused by lightning are covered by the policy.

It is not so connected with the subject of insurance as an automatic pass to the new owner which is the subject prenosi.Ugovor of insurance against fire, then, is just a personal contract between the insured and the insurer for the payment of money. It can be validly transferred to another only with the consent of the insurer.

So, where is provided is guilty of breach of duty to the insurer in respect of one subject matters covered by the policy, the insurer may avoid the contract as a whole, not just in relation to this particular subject mater, unless the law is limited by the provisions of the policy.

It is the primary responsibility and indemnify and secondary liability, that is, to put the insured in its pre-loss position, either by paying it stated amount or it could be otherwise. But the fact that the insurer had the opportunity to how to put the insured in the pre-loss position does not mean that he is not liable to indemnify him in one way or another, just the loss occurred. The primary obligation arises on the happening of the event insured against. Therefore, the time ran from the date of loss, and not the date on which the policy to avoid any suit filed after this deadline will be banned by the restrictions. [2]

the doctrine of cause-effect relationship


where there is more danger of an act simultaneously or consecutively, it will be difficult to assess the relative impact of each hazard, or choose one of these as the actual cause of loss. In such cases, learning about cause and effect relationship helps to determine the actual cause of loss.
Cause-effect relationship is defined in Pawsey v. Scottish Union and National Ins. Co., [5] as "the active efficient cause that drives the train of events that brings the result without the intervention of any force and began actively working against new and independent sources." It is the dominant and efficient cause, although this is not the closest in time. It is therefore necessary when it comes to losing to investigate and determine the causal relationship of loss in order to determine whether the insurer is liable for the loss.
