The Supreme Court today ruled that the PM Cares funds need not be transferred to the NDRF. The court was issuing a judgment on a PIL which sought such a transfer.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court while dismissing the Writ Petition imposed the exemplary cost of Rs. 1 Lakh to be deposited by the Petitioners in the PM-CARES Fund.
A Public Interest Litigation has been filed in the Delhi High Court seeking direction to the PM CARES Fund to divulge information under the Right to Information Act, 2005 and a direction to the trust to display on its website the details of the money received and for what purposes it has been utilized.
