The Bombay high court has stated that the compensation given to the families of victims of terror attacks and bomb blasts is too low. The two member bench on July 30th stated that the compensation amount of Rs 3 lakhs given to the relatives is inadequate. The honorable judges stated that when the sole breadwinner is killed in terror attacks, the families need to be compensated adequately and the amount given is too less for them. The honorable judges questioned for how long will this amount provide for them.
Out of the total amount of Rs 4 lakh, three lakhs are given by the Centre and rest by the respective state governments. A need for amendment in the compensation provided under the Motor Vehicles Act was also expressed.
There is a need to increase the compensation given to the families of the victims. The amount should be sufficient for them to lead a dignified life. The government should take measures to ensure employment of the dependents and also ensure other necessary help like rehabilitation, medical and psychological treatment.
