And 2 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Rinku Verma Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Rajan Roy,J. Hon'ble Om Prakash Shukla,J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Addl. C.S.C. and perused the record. By the impugned order dated 09.01.20245 claim of the petitioner has been rejected relying upon the postmortem report of her husband, which does not disclose any external injury, therefore, whether the petitioner's husband died as a result of snake-bite or not is a question of fact, which cannot be adjudicated under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. In view of the above, the writ petition is dismissed, with liberty to the petitioner to pursue other remedy available to her under law. (Om Prakash Shukla, J.) (Rajan Roy, J.)
