Workmen Compensation Act is an Act to provide for compensation to workmen for injuries by accident.
To claim such compensation, one need to lodge claim with the labour commissioner nii the prescribed manner stating the nature and extend of injuries.
Incase of death of the workman due to the said injury, the legal heir of the workman can claim compensation.

Workmen's compensation Act is changed to Employees's compensation Act. Your query is ambigous. First state the facts of the case, what and how happened and whether the injured or deceased is or was covered under ESIC.
if this is academic query, please excuse.
