New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday directed the Jammu and Kashmir government to pay a compensation of up to Rs 2 lakh to people injured in communal clashes in Kishtwar district.
A bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam turned down the plea of the state government against compensating the injured persons till the judicial commission looking into the incident files its report.
"The injured are also entitled to compensation. How can you say that they are not entitled?" the bench asked, while refusing to modify its yesterday's order in which it was mentioned that families of the deceased would be paid Rs 5 lakh and those injured would get up to Rs 2 lakh.
