COVID-19 Ex-Gratia Compensation | Rs. 50 Lakh Mandatory for Public-Risk Employees Under Government Resolution : Bombay HC

Bombay High Court rules that families of government employees who died due to COVID-19 while performing public-facing duties are entitled to Rs. 50 lakh ex-gratia compensation, regardless of uncommunicated orders. The Court also directed reconsideration of compassionate appointments, reinforcing that procedural lapses cannot deny statutory benefits.
