The receipt provided by the Chief Engineer, National Highway and Bridges (Garhwal Division), PWD, Delhi clearly shows that Smt. Sushila (mother of Rajesh Chauhan) and Ms. Preeti Chauhan (sister of Rajesh Chauhan) were also NoK of the deceased Kunwar Singh Chauhan and they were heirs specified in class I of the Schedule. Therefore, they should have also got their share of the compensation recommended by the Commission. The Chief Secretary, Government of Uttarakhand was then directed to make payment of the compensation awarded to each of the NoK of the deceased Kunwar Singh Chauhan, who were the heirs, being the relatives specified in class I of the Schedule and submit the compliance report along with proof of payment. v.
