"We have gone through the chart annexed along with the
affidavit filed by the Ministry of Home Affairs and we
find that despite the directions given by this Court in
Laxmi Vs. Union of India [(2014) 4 SCC 427], the
minimum compensation of Rs.3,00,000/- (Rupees three
lakhs only) per acid attack victim has not been fixed in
some of the States/Union Territories. In our opinion, it
will be appropriate if the Member Secretary of the State
Legal Services Authority takes up the issue with the
State Government so that the orders passed by this Court
are complied with and a minimum of Rs.3,00,000/-
(Rupees three lakhs only) is made available to each
victim of acid attack.
In the light of the direction issued by the Apex Court in
the case of Laxmi vs. Union of India (supra), Vinayak
Netralaya, Indore is directed to admit the petitioner and
perform the eye operation forthwith. The issue of
payment/or reimbursement of the bill of the hospital shall be
decided by this Court after submission of proper bills and
documents by the petitioner/or the hospital.
