                                                       JUDGMENT

(Judgment of the Court was made by PUSHPA SATHYANARAYANA, J.)

The writ appeal is directed against the order passed by the learned

single Judge in W.P(MD)No.17046/2020, dated 02.12.2020.

2.The writ petition itself is filed claiming adequate compensation for

the petitioner who is a widow and who had lost her daughter being

murdered inside the 4th respondent college premises.

3.Admittedly, the criminal case is still pending in S.C.No.24/2017

before the Principal District Judge, Karur. The petitioner also seems to have

sent a representation to the District Collector as well as the Principal

Secretary to Government, claiming compensation for the death of her

daughter that is also still pending. Accepting the statement made by the

petitioner that her daughter was murdered within the college premises,

unless and otherwise the criminal case is decided, the question of

compensation cannot be decided. The relief sought for by the petitioner

cannot be granted, as, if for every murder, the Government has to pay

compensation, then there will be no end to it. Therefore, the Writ Court has

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis/ W.A(MD)No.1538 of 2021

rightly dismissed the writ petition. We also, do not want to interfere with

the same.

4.Accordingly, this Writ Appeal is dismissed.
