Instead of doing row selection event on toggle,we followed a diffrent approach using datatable attribute.This work magicaly

 <p:dataTable id="insList" var="insured"
                        value="#{policyHandler.insuredList}" paginator="true"
                        rows="#{label.insuredList_defaultNumberOfRows}"
                        paginatorTemplate="{CurrentPageReport} {FirstPageLink} {PreviousPageLink} {PageLinks} {NextPageLink} {LastPageLink} {RowsPerPageDropdown}"
                        rowsPerPageTemplate="#{label.insuredList_numberOfRows}"
                        style="width: 98%;">
                        <p:column>
                            <f:facet name="header">
                                <h:outputLabel value="Select" />
                            </f:facet>
                            <h:selectBooleanCheckbox id="selection"
                                value="#{insured.status}">
                                <f:ajax execute="@this" 
                                listener="#{policyHandler.DoPathProcessing2}" render="insList"/>
                                <f:attribute name="insured" value="#{insured}" />
                            </h:selectBooleanCheckbox>
                        </p:column>
