He had applied under the scheme, rejected by order dated 30.12.2024 on ground of delay. He submits, his client cannot be held responsible for the delay for payment of compensation in respect of loss of his son. 2. Mr. Ambrish Shukla, learned advocate, Additional Chief Standing Counsel appears on behalf of State and hands up copy of order dated 06.11.2023 made by co-ordinate Bench in Writ-C no.33874 of 2023 (Mira Devi vs. State of U.P. and 2 others), and submits, in that case the claim for compensation was remitted for reconsideration. On query, Mr. Shukla submits, only ground of rejection was delay in making the claim. 3. Petitioner's claim is a claim for compensation. State has formulated a benevolent policy.

Following Mira Devi (supra) and since the rejection was only on account of delay, we direct the respondent no.2 to deal with the claim and disburse the amount to petitioner within six weeks from communication of certified copy of this order. However, in event some other defect in the claim is found, petitioner is to be called upon to rectify. 4. The writ petition is disposed of. Order Date :- 15.4.2025/Jitendra (Arindam Sinha,J.)
