Just In: #DelhiHighCourt dismisses a PIL moved against 'direct cash transfer' promises made by political parties in their election manifestos.
#freebie
The matter was heard before the bench of the Acting Chief Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Navin Chawla.
#DelhiHighCourt
Court said, "We are not sitting in an appeal against Supreme Court's judgment. In our view, freebies and direct cash transfer promises are the same. What difference does it make if the political party promises the goods/services or transfers the money for it?
Petitioner's counsel had contended that the Top Court dealt with the issue of freebies, which is entirely different from cash transfer schemes.
He had argued that direct cash transfer is nothing but electoral malpractice, a sort of bribery having no productive purpose.
Contending that the money that political parties promise to distribute against no labor, no efforts, comes from the pocket of taxpayers, the petitioner had sought declaration of such practice of cash transfer by political parties as unconstitutional.

BREAKING: #SupremeCourt while hearing, application by central government to initiate probe against individuals and organisations facilitating protection to Naxals noted that it is very serious in nature. Refuses to grant time to Colin Gonsalves, Sr. Adv appearing for an activist
The application was filed in a 2010 petition where allegations of violence was made against Security Forces who were operating in Chattisgarh. SG argued that the allegations have now been disproved since the tribals have told the District Judge that men in uniform did not attack.
SG told the #SupremeCourt that the petitioner is relying on unrelated articles by @ndtv and @Tehelka to show that the Supreme Court had asked the government not to make allegations against him.
