The PIL was filed by law
interns associated with the Human Rights Law Network. Hearing public interest
litigation (PIL), the Allahabad High Court has asked the state government
whether it had any scheme to compensate acid attack victims in the state.
Passing the above order,
a division bench comprising Chief Justice Dhananjaya Yeshwant Chandrachud and
Justice Sanjay Mishra directed the state government to inform the court whether
or not it had any scheme to compensate the acid attack victims in accordance
with the provisions of section 357 of CrPC. The court further directed
that if such a scheme was not there till date, the state government should
ensure that it was made at an early date.
The petitioners, Ayushi Dubey and nine other law students, raised the matter of acid attack on a student and her mother in Badlapur, Janpur district, and sought the court's intervention for ensuring proper treatment and compensation to the victims and their rehabilitation on the one hand and police action against the accused on the other.
