The Bombay High Court today asked the Maharashtra government to notify the revised Manodhairya scheme under which monetary compensation to victims of rape and other offences against women was raised to Rs 10 lakh.

The government had yesterday told the court that it would revise the scheme, after facing flak from the court over the original scheme launched in October 2013. "The state government has spent a lot of time and taken pains to come up with a new and revised model scheme. We are satisfied and direct the government to issue a government resolution notifying the revised scheme within a month," a division bench of Chief Justice Manjula Chellur and Justice M S Sonak said today.
