The owner of the premises or occupier of the premises owes a duty to general public,visitors that the place is safe from hazards.

Did the hotel have an NOC from local fire department?

Hotel owner can be held responsible for negligence and will have to compensate the deceased for consequences flowing out of the fire and death of the person staying in the hotel.

Tortious liability attaches to the hotel owners.

It must be understood that the hotel owed a duty to ensure safety of customers and having failed therein must be held to have been negligent in ensuring that no fire takes place.

If the person is not entitled under Employees compensation act,the heirs of the unfortunate deceased can sue the hotel and recover damages/compensation.

Law always provides remedies.

The hotel had a duty of care towards it customers,clear breach is seen when fire broke out and damage has taken place by the unfortunate death of a customer.

Hotel in normal circumstances becomes liable to compensate.

Mr Tiwari,
Please check with the organisation concerned.
There must be some insurance policy/coverage for employees not falling under Employees Compensation Act.
Government has offered some compensation any way.
Off course I do realise that money cannot compensate the loss of a life.

From India, Pune
asbhat sir, but according to other people he will not be compensated as workmen compensation act due to nature of work. he was at managerial position having basic salary of 52000.
