This is case of accidental death due to negligence on the part of Electricity Board. You may prosecute them under Criminal Law. Had, Panchanama carried out by the Police Dept. in this regard and there may be PM report of this deceased child , in which, the cause of death could be reported. All these facts can only amount to decide the compensation.
