If the labor was thru Contractor then involve the contractor. Whatever amount if any is paid may be paid under proper acknowledgment and in proper forum showing nothing as due. Your able lawyer may opine that the legal heirs cam move court.

Thank you Kumar, let me explain more, this incident happened in rural area, all decisions were made by village head, the contractor agrred to pay 2 lakhs as compensation to the deceased person's family, however they are also insisting my relative to pay 1 lakh within a month which is out of his reach. If this case is taken to court will he be held liable as the death was due to failure in the equipement used by the contractor and no safety precautions were made by them.
