The Supreme Court on Thursday issued notice on a petition seeking contempt action against Kerala for not disbursing ₹5 lakh each as compensation to the victims of endosulfan pesticide exposure.
A Bench led by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud noted the submission made by Kasaragod resident Baiju K.G. that the State had not acted despite orders from the apex court in January 2017 and July 2019. The counsel for the petitioner said the State had taken "no steps for compliance".
The court issued notice, returnable in four weeks.
