Laxmi Narain Modi vs Union Of India & Ors on 30 January, 2014
“10. 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 v. 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.
