The Supreme Court, in a plea filed by Senior Advocate Indira Jaising seeking details of compensation and other measures undertaken by states under Section 357A of the Code of Criminal Procedure, asked the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) to draft a model framework for release of funds under the Victim Compensation Scheme by 31 December, 2017. The initial focus of the framework would be to release funds to victims of sexual offences and acid attacks.
