Compensation Law

The Criminal Justice System primarily provides punishment to the offender and as rehabilitative measure compensation to the victim/survivor. Section 357 of Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 provides compensation to the person who suffered any loss or injury due to the act of the accused person. The State Government in co-ordination with Central Government prepares a scheme in terms of Section 357A of CrPC to compensate victim or their dependants for the loss or injury suffered as a result of crime and requires rehabilitation.

The Motor Accidents Claims Tribunals is constituted to adjudicate such claims for Compensation under the said Act, 1939 and the person who suffered the injury shall file an Application before the tribunal for the compensation. Any person aggrieved by the award of compensation may prefer an Appeal before the High Court.
