Rita Devi v. The State of Bihar
Case brief
What is this about?
The Patna High Court disposed of a writ petition filed by a petitioner regarding an ex-gratia payment. The respondent State argued that Rs. 4.50 lacs was already paid in lieu of the petitioner's husband's death due to Covid-19, leaving nothing for consideration, hence the petition was closed.
What did the court decide?
The writ petition was disposed off as the ex-gratia amount was already paid.
