Court Orders Tamil Nadu to Pay 30% Compensation for Stolen Gold

The Madras High Court in Madurai has ordered the Tamil Nadu government to pay 30% of the value of stolen gold that hasn't been recovered to the victims.

This is because the police didn't solve the cases, and the court said this is a violation of the victims' right to life, which includes the right to have their property protected.

The court also told the police to do better by keeping victims informed, reviewing old cases, and using better investigation methods.

They want the police to set up special teams to solve old cases and to train officers better.

This all happened because some people had their gold stolen and the police didn't do a good job of finding the thieves or keeping the victims updated.
