HC raps govt for denying compensation over nurse's COVID death, calls it 'insensitive'
The Business Guardian
|April 18, 2024
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday rebuked the Maharashtra government for its "insensitive" approach in refusing Rs 50 lakh compensation to the husband of a nurse who lost her life to COVID-19 while treating patients during the pandemic.

A division bench of Justices Girish Kulkarni and Firdosh Pooniwalla said the government's order rejecting compensation was passed without any application of mind.
"How can you be so insensitive? The deceased was a nurse actively treating patients suffering from COVID-19. How can such a case be rejected? These matters need to be handled with more care," Justice Kulkarni said.
The court noted that the deceased must have worked long hours at the hospital "with no time to even have a cup of tea".
