The Delhi High Court has directed the city government to pay Rs 50,000 ex gratia to the family of a man who died from COVID-19 complications, rejecting the state s claim that his death was due to cardiac arrest. The court emphasized the hospital s confirmation of COVID-19 contraction and subsequent complications leading to the man s demise. Referring to a Supreme Court ruling, the high court underscored eligibility for compensation regardless of the cause of death stated in the certificate. Consequently, the court ordered immediate disbursement of compensation to the petitioner.
