You and your family entitled to compensation under Section 357A of the Criminal Procedure Code, enacted by Parliament in 2009, allows compensation to victims or their dependants “who have suffered loss or injury as a result of the crime and who require rehabilitation”. Good Luck

Hi
Need to know the status of the criminal case(whether the person is convicted?)
Is your uncle convicted by courts, then you should move the courts under Section 357 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 .
Alternatively you can also file a claim for compensation by filing a Compensation suit against the Murderer.
Hope this information is useful.
