The Maharashtra state consumer commission has directed United India Insurance Company to pay Rs 70 lakh to a BMW owner whose car was destroyed by fire after it was parked on the roadside following a late-night tyre puncture. The commission also awarded 7 percent annual interest from the date the claim was rejected, Rs 50,000 for mental agony and harassment, and Rs 25,000 towards litigation costs.
