S. Sivagnanam, CJ., and Hiranmay Bhattacharyya, J., affirms the single-judge bench&#8217;s order and directs the Distribution Company to pay Rs. 5 lakhs as compensation to the respondent\/writ petitioner within three weeks. The petitioner is granted the liberty to approach the appropriate forum if seeking higher compensation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The instant matter pertains to an intra Court appeal against an order dated 22-11-2022. The appeal challenges an order regarding the eligibility of the appellant-writ petitioner to receive compensation for the death of his minor son (aged about 11 years) due to electrocution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">After considering arguments from all parties, the Court affirms the order of the single-judge bench. The Court held the reasons provided by the single-judge bench for granting compensation to be justified based on the case&#39;s facts and circumstances.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Regarding the quantum of compensation, the Court noted that the multiplier method used in Motor Accident Claim Cases would be time-consuming and not suitable for this case, considering the age of the deceased and the appellant&#39;s status as an agricultural laborer. Due to the age of the deceased and the petitioner&#8217;s economic status, the Court deems a compensation amount of Rs. 5 lakhs to be just and appropriate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Distribution Company, despite initial opposition, agrees to pay Rs. 5 lakhs in compensation, following their policy for death by electrocution cases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court modifies the impugned order, directing the Distribution Company to pay Rs. 5 lakhs to the respondent\/writ petitioner within three weeks. The Court allowed the appellant an option to seek higher compensation through the appropriate legal process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">W.B.
