Procedure for compensation to Acid Victims
29-Jul-2023 (In Documentation Law)
Sir, As per Jharkhand Victim Compensation Act, an acid victim is entitled for Compensation of ₹3 Lac. However, Hon'ble SC and Delhi HC has sanctioned more than ₹10 lacs in 1-2 cases keeping in view that actual expenses incurred till date and future expenses to be incurred in such cases is much higher than the Compensation awarded by the State Governments. As per information collected by me, after getting Compensation of ₹3 lacs from the State Government, if a victim wants to get higher Compensation, he/she need to approach High Court. Also, if he/she is unable to bear Court Expenses and Court Proceedings, he/she may approach High Court through the help of JHALSA (in Jharkhand). Kindly suggest me regarding drafting of Application to be submitted to JHALSA requesting for demanding higher Compensation, so that Court approves it easily on the basis of/with reference to earlier Judgements of the Courts.
JHALSA provides legal services to the middle income group citizens whose gross income is not exceeding Rs. 5,00,000/- per annum to prosecute or defend a case in the High Court of Jharkhand.
