The Delhi High Court has directed the government to pay Rs 1 crore ex-gratia to the family of a school principal who died after contracting COVID-19 while on duty. The bench said his death was “attributable to the discharge of such specific duties.”
A Mumbai sessions court increased compensation from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 1 crore for a woman facing 20 years of domestic abuse, calling her husband “crorepati” and “rolling in money.” Monthly maintenance was also raised to Rs 1.5 lakh for her and her daughter.
