Kochi, India – December 6, 2025 – The Kerala High Court has directed the Kerala Legal Services Authority (KELSA) to provide ₹5 lakh as interim compensation to a woman who survived a brutal acid attack in 2016. The survivor, who sustained severe burn injuries to her face and lost sight in her left eye, was attacked by two individuals as she exited a car near her home.

KELSA had previously awarded the survivor ₹3 lakh. However, the survivor petitioned the High Court for an additional ₹15 lakh to cover urgent medical expenses. The court’s recent order recognizes the ongoing need for treatment and provides a significant increase in interim support. The incident occurred in 2016.
