It was submitted by the complainant that her husband had died in a road accident. Due to lack of awareness, the post mortem was not conducted. However, an FIR was registered by the police. After appreciating the evidence on record, the forum held that there was sufficient evidence that Joginder Singh, husband of the complainant, had died in an accident. Merely non-conducting of the post mortem was not sufficient for the insurance company to repudiate the claim.
