No such intimation was given while renewing the policy. On a query, whether change of use was intimated to the company, the complainant replied in the affirmative and showed a copy of the letter written by him to the insurer in 1994 and reply of the insurer to that letter. Since the complainant has already intimated the fact about forcible occupation of the building by the police, there was no concealment of material fact.
