insurance is a contract of utmost good faith, and therefore party is duty
bound to disclose each and every material facts, and if there is a
misrepresentation than the company do have a right to reject due to
misrepresentation.

Ltd. 2016 : Fire insurance covers the loss which is directly related to the
outbreak of fire any loss which is outside the purview of direct loss will not
be covered. In this case the claim was rejected on the ground that there was
direct of the rain water which destroyed the goods, since there was presence
of rain water which is a natural thing and . outside the purview of insurance.
If it would have been the presence of water due to bursting of a pipeline than
the situation would have been a different and it might would have been
covered under the insurance.

location has been shifeted from one place to other than it is the duty of the
insured party that they must need to disclose this to the insurance company
since the t&c of the contracts are based in accordance with the location itself
and if it is changed than it simply means that the prime essence of contract
has been vititated. Therefore claim is not payable if location has been
shifted.

product after deducting the depreciated cost, which simply means the
company will be paying only the current standing cost.
