6.8.7 Sympathizing with the plight of victims under
Criminal Justice administration and taking advantage of
the obligation to do complete justice under the Indian
Constitution in defense of human rights, the Supreme
Court and High Courts in India have of late evolved the
practice of awarding compensatory remedies not only in
terms of money but also in terms of other appropriate
reliefs and remedies. Medical justice for the Bhagalpur
blinded victims, rehabilitative justice to the communal
violence victims and compensatory justice to the Union
Carbide victims are examples of this liberal package of
reliefs and remedies forged by the apex Court. The recent
decisions in Nilabati Behera V. State of Orissa (1993 2
SCC 746) and in Chairman, Railway Board V.
Chandrima Das are illustrative of this new trend of using
Constitutional jurisdiction to do justice to victims of
crime. Substantial monetary compensations have been
awarded against the instrumentalities of the state for
failure to protect the rights of the victim.
