Apex Court enunciated that States must frame the Schemes to compensate the victims of the crime, including those of the cow vigilantism as envisaged by Code of Criminal Procedure.
On Friday, Apex Court’s Three-judge Bench headed by CJI Dipak Misra further added that,“We do not have to say that All the States are under an obligation to compensate the victims of the cow vigilante violence. At the same time, the law and order has to have primacy and anyone violating must be dealt with sternly”.
