1. Mr. Nitesh Patel, learned advocate holding the brief to appear for respondents (the supply company) hands up internal correspondence dated 23rd September, 2026. He submits, ex gratia of Rs. 2,00,000/- will be paid to petitioner. Requisitions have been made for petitioner to provide particulars, inter alia, of pan card, bank details etc. He gives copy to Mr. Viresh Kumar Gupta, learned advocate appearing for petitioner.
2. Paragraph 3 from order dated 11th September, 2026 is reproduced below.
"3. Our query to Mr. Patel was, where there was direction and payment to the two families, who lost their children by electrocution on the spot, why should not the supply company show same human approach in likewise compensating petitioner. This is because the three children were playing together and all of them lost their lives as a consequence of the activity of flying kite. It is not a question of fault. We hope the supply company will do the right thing by petitioner. For the purpose, adjournment is granted." We commend management of the supply company in having decided to pay ex gratia. Petitioner to comply with the requisitions. We expect petitioner to find relief of payment receipt within two weeks from the communication.
