WP(C) 6307/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE T. VAIPHEI Heard Mr. P. Das, learned Counsel for the petitioner and Mr. G. Soren, learned Govt. Advocate for the respondent Nos. 1 and 2. With the consent of both the counsel, this writ petition is being disposed of at the motion stage itself. The petitioners are the parents of one Motiram Moibang sa who was shot dead by black widow militants of N.C. Hills District on 15.02.20 08 at about 6 p.m. The deceased was killed just after solemnization of his marri age right behind the residence of the bride at Miyungkro village at Haflong, Ha rangajao Road. The indcident was reported to the Haflong P.S. by the brother of the deceased by lodging an FIR on 16.2.2008. The deceased was a businessman and was killed when he refused to honour the extortion demand made by the militant o rganization. After obtaining the requisite documents, the petitioner approached the Deputy Commissioner, Diphu (Respondent No. 2) seeking payment of ex-gratia p ayment amounting to Rs. 3 lacks for the death of the deceased at the hand of ex tremist by invoking the Notification dated 22.6.2004 issued by the Commissioner and Secretary to the Government of Assam Personal Department. The first represe ntation was submitted to the respondent No. 2 as early as 27.10.2008 and despite reminders to that effect subsequently, the respondent No. 2 has not paid the ex -gratia payment till now without any apparent reason.
