The Delhi High Court on Wednesday said there was "nothing wrong" with the AAP government's decision to announce compensation for victims of the riots in northeast Delhi over the amended citizenship law.
A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar declined to entertain a PIL which had challenged the compensation announced by the Delhi government, saying "it is a policy decision" and "we will not interfere in it".
The court said, "This is not a compensation given on fault basis. The compensation is being awarded on a no fault basis. There is nothing wrong with it."
The court further said, "We expect the Delhi government's assistance scheme for helping riot victims will be for assistance of riot victims only."
