The Order of the court was delivered by
Order
1. On the previous occasion, this Court had observed that two prayers remained to be adverted to namely, amount of compensation and initiation of departmental action against the police personnel, who have been convicted.
2. As far as the first aspect is concerned, it is submitted by Ms. Shobha, learned counsel for the petitioner, that the trial Court has granted a meagre amount of compensation though the petitioner is entitled to more. In our considered opinion, the petitioner should assail the order of granting compensation in a separate special leave petition so that this Court can advert to the same. Liberty is granted to the petitioner to file a separate special leave petition for enhancement of compensation.
3. As far as the second aspect is concerned, Ms. Hemantika Wahi, learned counsel for the State of Gujarat shall apprise this Court whether disciplinary action has been initiated against the police personnel or not.
4. List after four weeks.
