I am informed that you have announced ex-gratia payment of Rs.1 crore to family of Ram Kishan Grewal yesterday.
If this payment is to be made from Delhi Govt funds, you may kindly ask your Law Dept to review your policy. It is settled law that such ex-gratia payments are for serving employee dying in harness while on operational duty. It is not clear how the deceased fulfils this condition. Furthermore, Ram Kishan Grewal appears to be from near Bhiwani (Haryana State) and his connection to Delhi to deserve such windfall largesse from you is tenuous.
Since the notification for this Aam Aadmi Party govt.'s ex-gratia policy is not on the GNCTD website, I would suggest that you seek LG approval and clear rules and guidelines before making any such rash and arbitrary announcements, and also considering the notoriety your Govt is attracting for the rash of dalaals and fixers surrounding you.
Of course if this payment is from Aam Aadmi Party's coffers we, the people of Delhi, can have no objection.
