LIC Circulars that prohibited registration of such policies were illegal and void. Whereas the High Court its judgment had delved into insurance policies being “personal, moveable property of the policy holder” and “ life insurance [no longer] remained a measure of social security”, the Supreme Court dispensed with looking into the same. It concluded LIC could not change the terms of the policy itself, and legislative intent was unambiguous about the registration of lapsed policies.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Relevant : Grigsby v.
