In its Balram judgment of October 2023, the Court had increased the compensation amount from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 30 lakh for such deaths. For example, the Madras High Court awarded Rs 10 lakh in one case, while the Delhi High Court granted Rs 30 lakh in another. One held that families of victims who died before October 20, 2023, and were already paid Rs 10 lakh, should get an additional amount of Rs 20 lakh. A Bench comprising Justice Aravind Kumar and Justice P B Varale, in an order passed on January 20, settled the issue. However, if the death occurred before the October 2023 judgment and compensation has not been fixed or paid, Rs 30 lakh must be awarded.
