[New Delhi] HC Agrees to Hear PIL Against Population Explosion in India
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday agreed to hear a PIL seeking directions to the Centre to implement measures to control the country’s rising population
The plea by BJP leader Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, who is also a lawyer, has sought implementation of the recommendations for population control made by the National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution (NCRWC) headed by Justice Venkatchaliah.
“The NCRWC, after making immense efforts for two years and elaborate discussion, had suggested addition of Article 47A in the Constitution and formulation of Population Control Law.
“Till now the Constitution has been amended 125 times,
The plea claims that the population of India has “marched ahead” of China, as about 20 per cent the population does not have Aadhaar and therefore, is not accounted for, and there are also crores of Rohingyas and Bangladeshis living illegally in the country.
