Recently the Supreme Court asked the Centre to formulate a national policy to financially compensate rape victims. Consider the following statements regarding this-
1.Section 304B of the Indian Penal Code deals with compensation of victims.
2.The Central Victim Compensation Fund is under the Ministry of Home Affairs
3.Victim Compensation Schemes have been implemented by all states after the Nirbhaya incident.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Only One
Only Two
All Three
None
None of the statements given about compensation for rape victims and related legal provisions are correct.
The first statement is incorrect. Section 304B of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) does not deal with the compensation of victims. Instead, it deals with dowry death, which is the death of a woman caused by burns or bodily injury or which occurs under suspicious circumstances within seven years of marriage, and it is related to dowry demands. Compensation for victims, particularly in cases of sexual offenses, is generally addressed under different legal provisions and schemes.
The second statement is incorrect. The Central Victim Compensation Fund (CVCF) is not under the Ministry of Home Affairs. It is a scheme proposed by the Ministry of Women and Child Development. This fund is intended to support and supplement the existing victim compensation schemes across the states and union territories.
The third statement is incorrect. While most states in India have implemented Victim Compensation Schemes, especially following the Nirbhaya case in 2012, which led to significant legal reforms regarding sexual offenses and victim compensation, the implementation and adequacy of these schemes vary widely across different states. Some states may have more comprehensive and effectively implemented schemes than others.
Therefore, none of the statements are correct.
