¶27

The present writ petition has been filed for award of compensation to the petitioner in lieu of insurance for the damages of Kharif Crop for the year 2020.

¶28

Briefly the facts noted are that the petitioner is an agriculturist of Patwar Halka, Kamediya. The petitioner paid premium for the Kharif crop of 2020 through Central Cooperative Bank, Nagaur. The concerned bank accepted the requisite documents along with the details filled in by the petitioner. However, while processing the case for payment of compensation, in place of village Kamediya, the name of the village was wrongly filled as Kherat, therefore, the petitioner was not paid the compensation for the damages of his crop. The petitioner is claiming compensation under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojna, 2020. When claim of the petitioner was not paid, he filed an application before the bank for payment of compensation. On this application, the officials of the bank informed that by an inadvertent mistake, the name of the village was wrongly shown as Kherat and necessary corrective measures are being taken by the bank. In furtherance of the same, the correct details and information was sent to the committee constituted by the Central Government comprising of representative of the State Government for making necessary corrections in the record and for award of compensation to the petitioner. Despite corrective measures having been taken by the bank, the committee constituted for the purpose has not decided the claim of the petitioner till date. In the circumstances, the petitioner has preferred the present writ petition praying that the Committee constituted may be directed to decide the case of the petitioner for
