Indian Supreme Court Has Ordered To Provide Cheapest Foods To The Poor

  The Indian Apex Court has interrupted boldly in the government governance, administration and preparation of policies for the last one and a half year that is exemplary. The Judges ordered the concerned department to provide cheapest food items to the poor. They also fought against the social sect system.and did not exempted even army chief.  This way judges determined to uproot the corruption from the society.
  An important tool the apex court has against the evil is that of" Public Interest Litigation". In India under this law any body (even third party) can sue the government or private company if clue of some crime is found. At present 250 cases of the sort are in the court for hearing.
  Last year under the public interest litigation law, a poor Muslim  filed a writ against Manmohin government that it was not providing foods to the poor on cheaper rates. Due to the importance of the case this case directly reached to the apex court. Judges quickly heard the case and ordered the government to supply 50 tons of foods in the poor districts. In addition court also ordered the government to increase the amont of money given to the poor below line of poverty because it was too low. It is worth mentioning that free or cheaper food is provided to those Indians who are living below the poverty line.
   During the hearing of the case justice Dilver Bhandari gave remarks that" We can not afford two Indias. On one side government wants to show the world that we have strong economy and on other side millions of hungry and poor Indians are living in famine conditions".      .
