He said, ‘It is really unfortunate. The right of the petitioner to lead a meaningful life, to live with dignity under Article 21 of the Constitution of India is a distant dream. The High Court said that in such a circumstance, if this writ court does not direct the petitioner to pay proper compensation and rehabilitate him, then it will fail in the discharge of its duty.
The court ordered the state government to pay the compensation within three months. The bench said, “Under the 2016 Act, an acid attack shall be deemed to be a person with a special disability. ”
