By way of the instant petition, the petitioner is seeking direction towards the respondent authorities to consider and decide the pending representation for granting compensation on account of death of deceased Prem Dan Kujur, who died in a road accident and was insured for a period of three years. 2.

The deceased was insured with the insurance company and the petitioner has executed an affidavit for entitlement of compensation, however, despite that the respondent authorities have not taken any action on the claim of the petitioner for grant of compensation. Hence this petition. 3.
