The Wafaqi Mohtasib, having investigated the cases, noted that the onus to prove that the policyholders suffered from some disease before obtaining the policy and willfully hid the facts from the insurance agency rested upon the SLICP.

The complainants contended that the deceased persons had no pre-insurance diseases and the insurance claims had been rejected unjustifiably.
