NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court has given Rs lakh interim reimbursement to some relative victim of sexual attack, detecting that idea that the system cannot reverse the offence it could offer emotional protection or empowerment with financial support besides prosecuting the offender. The high court, that set aside the trial court’s order prohibiting 50,000 interim reimbursement into the boy-child, improved the total amount to Rs lakh stating the last amount was reduced, to say the very least. Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani stated that while trying to measure the settlement payable to the sufferer even in the interim period, the court attempt must be to provide financial recompense, to the extent possible, to get atonement of their offense.
