“We Have Lost Our Patience. There Will Be No More Indulgence”: SC Warns Govt Over Delays In Giving Ration Cards To Migrant Workers

The Supreme Court Today (Oct 4) took a serious view of delays noticed in the grant of ration cards to eligible migrant workers. A Bench of Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and Ahsanuddin Amanullah gave a final opportunity to the Central government as well as the governments of States and Union Territories (UTs) to take necessary steps by November 19. The Court warned that it may summon the secretaries of defaulting States for contempt of court if the needful is not done.
