These writ petitions are at the instance of victims of acid
attack, seeking compensation and ancillary relief.
All these petitions shall be heard analogously henceforth.
In purported compliance with an order passed by the
Supreme Court of India, the Government of West Bengal in
the Home Department has issued a notification dated 27th
April, 2015 fixing Rs.3 lakh on account of compensation
payable to victims of acid attack. It is not in dispute that
barring Surya Sankar Barik, Janmenjoy Khan, Sanchayita
Jadav and Kakoli Das, the other 3 (three) petitioners have
received Rs.3 lakh each.
