for a house under the economically weaker section (EWS) and the high court directed the government to consider her plea and pass appropriate orders. In 2022, Rotawan once again moved the high court noting that her representation was rejected by the government. The government had then said that a compensation amount of Rs 13.26 lakh was handed to Rotawan on compassionate grounds. The high court had then directed the state government to reconsider her representation for allotment of residential premises. </p><p>Devika again approached the high court with the help of her lawyer and in March 2024, the high court observed it as a genuine case of one of the youngest survivors and eye-witnesses of the 26/11 terror attacks which requires to be dealt with more sensitivity and being mindful of her human rights, the <a href="/wiki/Bombay_High_Court" title="Bombay High Court">Bombay High Court</a> on Wednesday told the State Housing Minister to consider a request made by Devika Rotawan for a house under the economically weaker section (EWS) quota. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Bombay_High_Court" title="Bombay High Court">Bombay High Court</a> has rebuked the Maharashtra government for its handling of a housing request by Devika Rotawan, a victim of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. The court directed the housing department to review Rotawan's request for a house under the economically weaker section (EWS) scheme with greater sensitivity, considering her exceptional circumstances and basic human rights. </p><p>The bench of Justices GS Kulkarni and Firdosh Pooniwalla emphasised a comprehensive review of all allotments, stating, "We will appoint a high power committee of independent persons. We are very serious about this issue. Once we see a violation of human rights, and mechanically closing files, we will not appreciate this." In its order, the bench stressed that cases like Rotawan's, involving victims of terrorist attacks, demand more human sensitivity and discretion, urging the housing minister to take an appropriate decision.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Honours,_awards_and_recognition"><span id="Honours.2C_awards_and_recognition"></span>Honours, awards and recognition</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Devika_Rotawan&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Honours, awards and recognition"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 2009, she was honoured with an award from a NGO.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
