In which of the following cases did the Supreme Court issue directives to regulate the sale of acid, ensure free medical treatment for acid attack victims, and mandate interim compensation from state governments ?
Answer: B
The case is Laxmi Vs. Union of India.
On a petition by the acid attack survivor Laxmi, the Supreme Court in 2013 and 2015 directed regulation of over-the-counter sale of acid (sale only to identified buyers, with records kept), free medical treatment for acid attack victims in public and private hospitals, and compensation of at least Rs 3 lakh by the State governments, including interim payments.
Madhukar Narayan Mardikar concerned the privacy of a woman of 'easy virtue', NALSA recognised transgender persons as a third gender, and Shreya Singhal struck down Section 66A of the IT Act.
