When did the event happen, after or before 2015? The principle in the case of life insurance is that the insured nominates the person that has to be provided for in the event of his death. It need not always be an heir. If a person has a family comprising wife and say 2 sons and no parents. Wife and 2 sons are the heirs. One of the sons is an adult earning for himself.. If the insured had nominated his wife, she will ger the insurance amount. In the case cited by you the situation has changed after the policy was taken and others had become dependants of the insured and apparently there was a lapse on the part of the insured. He did not change the nomination after his marriage. The insurance act also says that nominations made before the marriage of the insured lapse after his marraige. A good lawyer does not take judgments as gospels. He looks into the merits of each case.
In the present case the Insurance Act 2015 favours the second wife. Narration of the case is not sufficient to look into the merits of the case. The outcome will depend on how the lawyers argue and present the case..
