I Thank you both your your valuable advice.
The details of the case in short is that on 26-07-2005 city of mumbai witnessed unprecedented rainfall. The Private Limited Company having their Godown at bhiwandi was also affected of water clogging and major portion of goods were spoilt. goods were insured, and surveyors assessed the damages and gave their final report of net claim payable to the Company. There was a mistake on the part of surveyors where they didnot consider certain goods lying at the godown and surveyors submitted addendum Survey Report. But the insurance company paid the claim as per first report and took the sign on the receipt as full and final payment of the claim. Now they are refusing to pay the balance claim amount.
