New Delhi [India], January 11 (ANI): Delhi High Court Chief Justice DN Patel has nominated Justice Siddharth Mridul as the chairman of the Delhi High Court Legal Service Committee.
Delhi State Legal Services Authority (DSLSA) member secretary Kanwal Jeet Arora on January 4 wrote a letter to Principal Secretary of Law, Justice and Legislative Affairs, Delhi Government, urging him to initiate urgent steps for issuance of notification in respect of Justice Mridul.
Justice Mridul, born on November 22, 1962 in a lawyer family, has done L.L.B. in the year 1986 from Campus Law Centre, Faculty of Law, University of Delhi, and was appointed as Additional Judge of the High Court of Delhi with effect from March 13, 2008 and as a Permanent Judge on May 26, 2009.
The significance of the Karan verdict lies in the Delhi High Court’s use of the Victim Impact Report (VIR) to determine the quantum of compensation. The Court’s version of VIR is loosely based on the concept of Victim Impact Statements (VIS), but with some significant differences. VIS is an instrument of victim participation, which effectively allows victims to inform the court in their own words as to how the crime impacted them. Barring minor variations, the VIS’s format comprises the description of physical injury, emotional harm, or the damage or loss to property as a result of the offence.
