Ex gratia aid
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has enhanced compensation from state governments to acid attack victims to a uniform Rs 3 lakh across the country. Earlier, the compensation used to vary and was up to Rs 50,000.
Sale of acid
The apex court, in its verdict on Thursday, directed state governments to implement stringent norms for retail sale of acid treating it as a poison under the Poisons Act, 1919, within 3 months.
The SC also banned sale of acid to minors and said that acid can be sold to only those who have valid identity cards issued by the government.
Non-bailable offence
The apex court has asked the Centre and states to make the acid attack offence non-bailable.
