“The statements of Bharat Ram and Nirmala Devi (parents of the deceased) were recorded. It was apparent from the facts of the case that accused Ranjit murdered the son of the victims. The family income from all sources comes to be Rs 50,000 per annum, not exceeding Rs 4.5 lakh per annum, which is one of the conditions precedent for the payment of compensation under the Victim Compensation Scheme”, he added.
