4 Insofar as the States and Union Territories are concerned we are informed that the States of Maharashtra Karnataka Kerala Haryana Punjab Madhya Pradesh Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh have framed rules to regulate sale of acid and other corrosive substances As regards state of Meghalaya we find from the available record that draft rules have been prepared a copy of which has been made available to the Court

5 Learned counsel for the State of Tamil Nadu has stated before us that within two months from today appropriate rules to regularise sale of acid and other corrosive substances shall be framed

6 In our opinion all the States and Union Territories which have not yet framed rules will do well to make rules to regulate sale of acid and other corrosive substances in line with the Model Rules framed by the Central Government The States which have framed rules but these rules are not as stringent as the Model Rules framed by the Central Government will make necessary amendments in their rules to bring them in line with the Model Rules The Chief Secretaries of the respective States and the Administrators of the Union Territories shall ensure compliance of the above expeditiously and in no case later than three months from the receipt of the draft Model Rules from the Central Government

7 The Centre and StatesUnion Territories shall work towards making the offences under the Poison Act 1919 cognizable and non-bailable

dependents who have suffered loss or injury as a result of thecrime and who require rehabilitation

12 We are informed that pursuant to this provision 17 States and 7 Union Territories have prepared Victim Compensation Scheme (for short Scheme) As regards the victims of acid attacks the compensation mentioned in the Scheme framed by these

States and Union Territories is un-uniform While the State of Bihar has provided for compensation of Rs 25000- in such scheme the State of Rajasthan has provided for Rs 2 lakhs of compensation In our view the compensation provided in the Scheme

by most of the StatesUnion Territories is inadequate It cannot be overlooked that acid attack victims need to undergo a series of plastic surgeries and other corrective treatments Having regard to this problem learned Solicitor General suggested to us that the compensation by the StatesUnion Territories for acid attack victims must be enhanced to at least Rs 3 lakhs as the after care and rehabilitation cost The suggestion of learned Solicitor General is very fair 13 We accordingly direct that the acid attack victims shall be paid compensation of at least Rs 3 lakhs by the concerned State GovernmentUnion Territory as the after care and rehabilitation cost Of this amount a sum of Rs 1 lakh shall be paid to such victim within 15 days of occurrence of such incident (or being brought to the notice of the State GovernmentUnion Territory) to facilitate immediate medical attention and expenses in this regard

dependents who have suffered loss or injury as a result of thecrime and who require rehabilitation

12 We are informed that pursuant to this provision 17 States and 7 Union Territories have prepared Victim Compensation Scheme (for short Scheme) As regards the victims of acid attacks the compensation mentioned in the Scheme framed by these

States and Union Territories is un-uniform While the State of Bihar has provided for compensation of Rs 25000- in such scheme the State of Rajasthan has provided for Rs 2 lakhs of compensation In our view the compensation provided in the Scheme

by most of the StatesUnion Territories is inadequate It cannot be overlooked that acid attack victims need to undergo a series of plastic surgeries and other corrective treatments Having regard to this problem learned Solicitor General suggested to us that the compensation by the StatesUnion Territories for acid attack victims must be enhanced to at least Rs 3 lakhs as the after care and rehabilitation cost The suggestion of learned Solicitor General is very fair 13 We accordingly direct that the acid attack victims shall be paid compensation of at least Rs 3 lakhs by the concerned State GovernmentUnion Territory as the after care and rehabilitation cost Of this amount a sum of Rs 1 lakh shall be paid to such victim within 15 days of occurrence of such incident (or being brought to the notice of the State GovernmentUnion Territory) to facilitate immediate medical attention and expenses in this regard

The balance sum of Rs 2 lakhs shall be paid as expeditiously as may be possible and positively within two months thereafter The Chief Secretaries of the States and the Administrators of the Union Territories shall ensure compliance of the above direction
