New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has refused a petition seeking an order to give one crore rupees to the next of kin of those who lost their lives within a month of immediate death or recovery due to corona virus, saying that it would lead the country to bankruptcy. Will be done. Hearing the petition, a division bench of Acting Chief Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Navin Chawla said, 'The whole country will go bankrupt.' We cannot give such an order.

The court in its order said that a policy has been framed to give ex-gratia amount to the families of the victims, which has also been approved by the Supreme Court. According to that policy, the National Disaster Management Authority has set an ex-gratia amount of Rs 50,000 for deaths due to corona infection, which will be given by the state governments from their State Disaster Response Fund. The court made this observation on the writ petition of Dr. Vidyotma Jha in June last year. In this, the policy of giving ex-gratia amount to the victims of corona epidemic was demanded.

The petitioner had alleged that the authorities were giving compensation to the families of the selected people only on the basis of pick and choice without any guidelines. It was demanded in the petition that directions be issued to the respondents to give proper policy and guidelines for providing ex-gratia amount to all the families without any discrimination. However, the court said that since a policy is already in place, there is no need to do anything further on it.
