11 July 2013 5:17 AM IST
The Supreme Court on Tuesday pulled up the central government on the issue of framing a policy to curb the sale of acid to prevent acid attack cases. The court said seriousness is not seen on the part of government in handling the issue.
A bench headed by Justice R M Lodha said that people are dying everyday due to acid attacks but the central government has failed to frame a policy despite assurance given by it on the last hearing on 16 April. The court granted time of one week as a last opportunity to the central government to frame policy in consultation with state
governments.
