My best guess is that the record and image ought to be on FindMyPast in their collection "British India Office Deaths & Burials". However, I cannot find Frederick Darlan under those details.
I can search FMP on 1920 burials at a place of Bilaspur plus 3 similar variants, but, while I can see some Bilaspur burial images for some quarters in that year, the 2nd quarter doesn't appear. It does appear to imply that the image will be a copy of a burial record from an Indian Parish Register.
According to the FS Index Record, the data is on the "film"
Digital Folder Number 005138469
So I have a horrible feeling that FMP don't have the image in question, which means that you need to get hold of someone who has access to a Family History Centre - or presumbly a full LDS member account - as Brett suggests.

@Adrian Bruce1 Thank you Adrian for taking the time to look for me.
I have emailed a local Family history centre (currently closed) in the hope that someone may get back to me.
