Allahabad High Court Directs Compensation for Victims of Covid Deaths
The Allahabad High Court said that if a person admitted to hospital due to Covid-19 dies during treatment, it should be considered a Covid death, even if the immediate cause is heart failure or dysfunction of any other organ.
This would ensure relief for many people who were denied compensation due to technical reasons.
The dependents of any such deceased person would be entitled for the compensation or ex-gratia payment as already fixed by the government, the Court added.
Allowing writ petitions filed by Kusum Lata Yadav and several others, a division bench comprising Justice Attau Rahman Masoodi and Justice Vikram D Chauhan directed the state authorities to release the ex-gratia payment to the dependents of Covid victims within a period of one month.
