Avadh Kaushik v. Union of India & Ors.

What is this about?

Two writ petitions challenging the Government of NCT of Delhi's decision to declare an ex-serviceman who died during a protest as a 'martyr' and to grant ex-gratia compensation were dismissed. The court held that since the Cabinet decisions approving the compensation and related measures had not been implemented by the Lieutenant Governor, the respondents were not acting on them. Consequently, the appellant's apprehensions were considered premature, and the petitions were declared not maintainable.
