Reminding of a similar matter in 2021 where the SLSA had submitted that it had funds only of an amount of Rs.5,000\/- and was hence not in a position to disburse the victim compensation, the Court remarked that it is a sorry state of affairs. The Court stated that it is mandatory on the State Government not only to make a separate budget for victim compensation but also to constitute a fund with the specific nomenclature of \u201cVictim Compensation Fund\u201d for disbursing amount to the victims who need rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt; text-indent: 18pt; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The State or the SLSA cannot take the position that it does not have funds to compensate the victims.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The SLSA and the State were directed to file a report within six weeks from date as to the steps which are proposed to be taken for ensuring that adequate amount of funds reach the State Legal Services Authority within six weeks from date indicating the funds which are proposed to be put in with SLSA within the time directed for dealing with the pending cases of victim compensation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The prayer for immediate disbursement of Rs.1,50,000\/- was declined in view of the practical compulsions namely that SLSA was not in a position to inform the court as to the quantum of funds at its disposal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Maleka Khatun v.
