The government's decision to appeal against the High Court Single Bench's decision to award compensation in a case in which a pink police officer publicly insulted an eight-year-old girl and her father was extremely inhumane and despicable. Last December, HC had ordered compensation of Rs 1.5 lakh and Rs 50,000 in court costs to the girl.

One thing that is still unclear is that why the government is trying to save someone who mishbehaved. The goverment has taken such a decision on the same day when HC criticized govt for allocating crores of rupees as pension to minsiters' personal staff. The girl's family lives on the meager income of her father Jayachandran, a rubber tapping worker in a rented house in Attingal. After that incident, the child who was suffering from severe depression had to undergo counselling.

The father and daughter were publicly insulted when a pink police officer alleged that the girl stole her mobile phone. The officer, who did not know where she kept her mobile phone, abused the child and the father, forgetting the responsibility of the police force assigned to her. The visuals went viral media and several discussions followed, the higher officials only took action after this.h actions will be repeated if you are not prepared to stop these bugs. The trauma suffered by the child is priceless. The government should not only withdraw the appeal filed in the High Court and pay the compensation and expenses prescribed by the court, but also provide a house to the family.
