Mr. Rakesh Chandra Tiwari, learned advocate appears on behalf of petitioner and submits, his client is widow. Her husband died by falling down the hillside. Her claim for compensation was rejected by order dated 3rd February, 2024. On query he submits, the authority accepted report that her husband committed suicide. He seeks interference. 2. Mr. Mohan Srivastava, learned advocate, Standing Counsel appears on behalf of State and submits, respondent no.2 (the District Magistrate) duly considered the fact and circumstances to make impugned order.
