The Rajasthan High Court dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking enrollment of individuals and families of Chittorgarh and Pratapgarh districts, who were earlier excluded from the National Food Security Scheme and denied benefits under new ration cards after getting married and separated from their parents and family.
The PIL has been filed by one Shanti Lal Gurjar.
The Division Bench of Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava and Justice Kuldeep Mathur held that the relief sought for by way of this PIL cannot be granted in the PIL petition.
It is observed by the Court that it is for the individuals, if they raise grievance for inclusion of their name which may be considered in the appropriate Forum, if they are aggrieved.
“At the instance of this kind of PIL, no blanket direction can be issued”, the Court said.
