Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel, who appears on behalf of respondent no.1 and Sri Anil Kumar Srivastava, learned counsel, who has filed his power on behalf of respondent no.3, which is taken on record. 2. This writ petition has been filed with the following prayers :- (i) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus thereby commanding and directing the opposite party no.3 to release the claim under the scheme of Uttar Pradesh Mukhyamantri Sarvhit Kisan Bima Yozna in favor of the petitioner in pursuance of the office approval of the opposite Party No.2 i.e. District Magistrate, Pratapgrah. (ii) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus thereby commanding and directing the United Insurance Company Limited, Arif Chambers-1, Kapoorthala, Sector-A, Aliganj, Lucknow, (opposite party no.3) to pay the penal interest from the date of approval of District Magistrate, Pratapgrah till the actual payment, in the interest of justice. 3. It has been submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner's claim for compensation on the death of her husband, Jiya Lal, has not yet been entertained by the United Insurance Company Limited, although the District Level Committee has already approved such compensation to be paid to her. 4. Sri Anil Kumar Srivastava, learned counsel for respondent no.3, United Insurance Company Limited, says that the petitioner has not annexed any documents and therefore he is not sure whether the insurance company has ignored the order of the District Level Committee. 5. Be that as it may, we are of the considered opinion that since the District Level Committee has already found the petitioner eligible for payment of compensation and the matter is pending with respondent no. 3, we dispose of the writ petition with a direction to respondent no.3 to look into the grievance of the petitioner and pass an appropriate order for the payment of compensation, which the District Level Committee has found her to be eligible for, within a period of four weeks from the date of the copy of this order.
