Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, in a public interest writ under Article 32, addressed the inadequacies in compensation and medical care for acid attack victims, referencing the orders in Laxmi vs. Union of India. The Court emphasized the need for a legal framework ensuring free medical treatment and adequate compensation under Survivor Compensation Schemes. It held that the current provisions were insufficient and directed the government to enhance support for victims, thereby reinforcing the rights of acid attack survivors.
