The Bombay High Court's Aurangabad bench stressed that courts have a legal obligation to compensate victims for losses and damages brought on by the actions or inactions of other parties, in addition to providing compensation, according to a PTI report. 

The High Court, according to the report, upheld the conviction of a man who was found guilty in 2017 of killing his wife due to a financial dispute, leaving their two small boys orphaned. The District Legal Services Authority of Jalgaon was also instructed to make sure the orphaned children received rehabilitation or compensation.
