The Bombay High Court has directed the Maharashtra government to carefully evaluate Devika Rotawan`s appeal for housing aid under the scheme for the Economically Weaker Section. Devika is one of the youngest survivors of the 26/11 terrorist attack on Mumbai which killed many.
The division bench of Justices Girish Kulkarni and Firdosh Pooniwalla, per a report in PTI, noted that Rotawan has lived a life with disabilities and poverty since she was a 9-year-old girl. The court, noting that she lived in slums and was at the mercy of her parents, also said that the compensation she had received in the past was meagre in terms of the hardships she had faced, the report added.
