1. The respective husbands of the two petitioners before us were serving as sewer cleaners with the Government of Delhi and the Government of Haryana respectively. Both died on account of inhaling poisonous gas while cleaning sewer/septic tanks. One died in the year 2021 and another died in 2022.

2. The petitioners have invoked the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 32 of the Constitution praying that both the Governments are liable to pay compensation for the death of their husbands while on duty.

3. In the petition, the petitioners have prayed for the following reliefs:-

"(a) Issue a Writ in the nature of Mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the Respondent No.1 to provide compensation of Rs. 30 Lakhs to the Petitioner No.1 in terms Of the judgment passed by this Hon'ble Court in the case titled as "Balram Singh vs. Union of India & Ors., 2023 SCC Online SC 1386";

(d) Cost of the petition may also be awarded in favor of the Petitioners and against the Respondents;"

4. We take notice of the fact that the petitioner no.1 has preferred a representation addressed to the Chief Secretary, Government of Haryana dated 15.10.2024 praying for appropriate compensation. In the same manner the petitioner no.2 has also preferred a representation addressed to the Chief Secretary, Government of NCT of Delhi dated 15.10.2024. The two representations are annexed as annexures P-11 and P-13 respectively to this petition.

5. It appears that the respective Governments have yet to look into the representations and take an appropriate decision in the matter as regards the claim of the petitioners for compensation.

6. The petitioners also seek to rely upon a decision rendered by the High Court of Delhi in CONT.Case(C) 262/2024 and CM Appl.46288/2024 decided on 20th August, 2024. In the said order, we find reference of the decision of this Court in the case of Balram Balram Singh vs. Union of India & Ors.

7. We are of the view that we should direct the Government of NCT of Delhi and the Government of Haryana to look into the two representations filed by the petitioners herein and decide the same in accordance with law within a period of four weeks, keeping in mind the dictum as laid by this Court in Balram Singh vs. Union of India & Ors.

8. In the event, if the two representations filed by the petitioners are rejected, it shall be open for both the petitioners to come back to this Court.

9. We direct the two governments to decide the representations within the stipulated period of time and inform both the petitioners in writing about the outcome of their representations.

10. With the aforesaid, this petition stands disposed of.

11. Pending application(s), if any, stand disposed of.
