Mr.S.Nithiyanantham, Sub Inspector of Police in Tamil Nadu Commando Force, Marutham developed chest pain at about 7.30 p.m., when the train was nearing Jolarpettai railway station. However, after getting down at Jolarpettai railway station, when the petitioner's husband was taken to a local hospital, unfortunately, there was no doctor in the local hospital, therefore, he was again taken to one Dr.Kalivarathan of Thirupathur. The said doctor once again advised him to go to a Government hospital. But, unfortunately, before reaching the Government hospital at Thirupathur, at about 10.30 p.m., the petitioner's husband died. This was also confirmed by the FIR and the communication issued by the Director General of Police dated 25.9.2009. Immediately after the death of the petitioner's husband, First Information Report was also lodged in FIR No.154 of 2008 on 1.6.2008 at Jolarpettai Railway Police Station. Subsequently, postmortem was also performed on her husband's body and the post-mortem certificate issued by the Civil Surgeon, Government Hospital, Thirupathur and the First Information Report clearly show that the petitioner's husband died while he was discharging his duty. Therefore, the case of death of the petitioner's husband is covered under the Tamil Nadu Police Insurance Scheme Rules for Police Officers and Personnel. As per the rules, the petitioner is also entitled to receive a sum of Rs.10,00,000/- for the accidental death of her husband. Therefore, number of representations were made to the police authorities seeking the above said amount as per the scheme covered in G.O.Ms.No.1160, Home (Pol.XII) Department dated 18.8.99, which came into force from 1.4.97, but the respondents have not come forward to pay the amount even as per the above said Government Order, as a result, the petitioner sent a representation dated 11.6.2009 through her counsel to all the respondents with a request to take immediate steps to grant the financial assistance as per the said G.O.Ms.No.1160. A reading of the Government Order clearly shows that the Government, after disbanding the Group Insurance Scheme, formulated a new Group Insurance Scheme for granting financial assistance to the police officers and personnel and the scheme also clearly says that any accidental death while travelling by car, boat, train would be also covered. But in the present case, the First Information Report dated 1.6.2008 registered at Jolarpettai Railway Police Station clearly shows that the petitioner's husband Mr.S.Nithiyanantham died on 1.6.2008 at about 10.30 p.m., when he was on duty along with eight other personnel. In spite of the fact that the death of the petitioner's husband is covered by G.O.Ms.No.1160 dated 18.8.99, there was no response or progress on the petitioner's representation, resultantly, the petitioner was constrained to approach this Court by filing W.P.No.13824 of 2009 seeking issuance of a writ of mandamus to direct the respondents to pass orders on the representation dated 11.6.2009. This Court, taking note of the plight of the petitioner, by order dated 22.7.2009, disposing off the writ petition, directed the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation dated 11.6.2009 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of eight weeks.
