  "account": "The Yamuna Nagar District Consumer Commission in Haryana has ordered LIC to pay Rs 15 lakh to the son of a deceased woman following an unjustified repudiation of her death claim. The commission rejected LIC's objections regarding the non-disclosure of existing policies, alleged concealment of diabetes-related information, and delayed intimation, deeming the repudiation of the genuine death claim to be unjustified. The commission ruled that LIC's actions constituted negligence and deficiency in service.",
