Was it paid? What happened after money was ordered

NHRC: relief recommended, payment not shown

Cases in which NHRC's latest annual report listing the case recorded no proof of payment, or a challenge or refusal. A case may have been paid after that report; the date of each listing is on its record.

Courts: compensation ordered against police

Amounts ordered by High Courts and the Supreme Court in the records on this site. Unless a later order on the record says the money was paid, payment is shown as not verified: it may have been paid, but nothing public we have found says so.

Ask for yourself: an RTI application
