No, if you are the employer. The procedure is to inform the compensation commissioner about his death and submit the compensation amount with the commissioner itself as decided by the Commissioner. There are chances of filing a suit by the relative of the labour even later on. The only thing you can give out of court is interim relief or advance payment and not the whole amount.
