India's top court has approved the government's decision to pay 50,000 rupees as compensation for every death due to Covid-19.
On Monday Justice MR Shah said the "next of kith and kin of the deceased person" shall be paid this compensation within a month of applying. This would be "over and above the amounts paid by the centre and state under various benevolent schemes", he said. In June, petitioners sought the court's intervention in paying compensation to the families of Covid-19 victims.They said since Covid-19 was "specially" notified as a disaster under India's National Disaster Management Act, compensation should be paid to the victims.
The law says monetary assistance of 4,0000 rupees should be paid to family of people who have lost their lives in a disaster."We know the government has spent a lot of money in managing the pandemic. But we still think the government should have paid 4,0000 rupees compensation to every affected family according to the law. Or they could have given a higher amount to the poor families and less to the well-to do.
