Pay ₹10 lakh each to three child victims of sexual offence, orders Madras High Court

The Madras High Court has issued a directive requiring the Tamil Nadu state government to provide financial restitution to three minors who were victims of sexual abuse. Justice A.D. Jagadish Chandira mandated that each survivor receive a payment of ₹10 lakh to assist in their recovery and rehabilitation. These funds are to be disbursed directly from the state's designated Child Victim Compensation Fund. This judicial intervention underscores the legal obligation of the state to support vulnerable individuals following traumatic experiences. The court's decision ensures that victims receive necessary monetary aid to help mitigate the long-term impact of these criminal acts.

This ruling highlights the judiciary's role in enforcing state-funded support systems to ensure justice and rehabilitation for child survivors of sexual violence.
