The Hindu Editorial Paragraph Analysis 6 December 2025

Marked for Life: On Acid Attack Survivors
Acid attack victims deserve better from courts and law enforcement. Shocked that an acid attack victim had not received closure 16 years after the crime was committed, the Supreme Court of India made a slew of oral observations early this week calling the slow pace a “mockery of the system”. The Chief Justice of India (CJI), Justice Surya Kant, said acid attackers must not be shown any sympathy by courts and called for the “entire system” to respond against them. Shaheen Malik was 26 and was studying for an MBA degree when she was attacked outside her office in Haryana in 2009. Till 2013, “nothing happened” in her case, she told the CJI. The case was finally transferred to Rohini court in Delhi from Haryana, where the trial is pending, and “final arguments” are on. Ms. Malik has undergone reconstructive surgeries, and in 2021, she set up Brave Souls, an NGO that offers medical and legal support to acid attack survivors. In fact, she was knocking at the Court’s door with a PIL seeking formal recognition of survivors as persons with specified disabilities under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. She was bringing the Court’s notice to those acid attack victims who had been forcibly fed acid and were not marked for life like others who had acid thrown at them but nevertheless lived with terrible suffering. The CJI asked the Centre to consider bringing an ordinance. Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, said no respondent could oppose the cause of the petitioners.
