Compensating rape victim is govt’s obligation, not charity: HC

“You (government) should think from your heart in such cases. There cannot be such an insensitive attitude. This is the government’s obligation to help such victims. They (victims) are not beggars and this is not charity. It is their (victims) right,” the judges noted.

“Manodhairya means self-confidence…the government should be boosting the victims’ confidence, instead it is doing the opposite,” they observed.
