| Summary: | Victimisation is often traumatising and life changing event. Victims of crime suffer not only physical injury but also psychological, economic and other harms. Apart from punishing the offender, the state also shoulders the responsibility to rehabilitate the victim. The researcher, in this paper, discusses the theoretical perspectives of state's liability to pay compensation to the victims of violence and specifically in cases where women are victims, referring to the reports of J. Malimath Committee and J. Verma Committee, amendments in Code of Criminal Procedure, and also judicial contribution towards evolution and expansion of compensatory justice in India. The focus is on Manodhairya Scheme in Maharashtra, which creates provisions to provide compensation to the victims of rape, acid attacks and cases of child sexual abuse. This research paper is an outcome of information and experiences researcher gathered during her work as a member of Manodhairya Committee for Aurangabad District, in Maharashtra. Along with the objectives and reasons for the introduction of the scheme the researcher further studies implementation of the scheme, for which she refers to the statistical data of Maharashtra State and Aurangabad District. |
