SC directs govt to frame policy for compensation to disable rape victim | TNN | Feb 11, 2016 NEW DELHI: Twenty years after a blind girl was subjected to rape by a married man under false pretext of marrying her, the Supreme Court on Thursday came to her rescue and directed Chhattisgarh government to pay compensation of Rs 8000 per month for rest of her life. Expressing deep concern over the plight of the 37-year old lady who was deserted by her family members after the incident, a bench headed by Justice M Y Eqbal said that government must frame uniform policy to grant relief. Chhattisgarh government's counsel Atul Jha consented that state was committed for rehabilitation of the lady who was facing hardship to make her both ends meet. The court also upheld conviction of the man who had sexually exploited her on the false pretext of marriage and sentenced him to undergo seven years of jail term.
