[New Delhi]Don’t Give Water+Elect Free If You Can’t Pay Pension to AIDS Patients: HC
The Delhi High Court said today. That
The Delhi government can provide free water and electricity to those who have roof over their heads but can’t afford to pay monthly pension to the poor suffering from AIDS,
A bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar said.
“Be realistic and reasonable. If you do not have money, then do not give things (like water and electricity) free to people,”
It said that poor people who were suffering from acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), were the ones who actually needed financial assistance, as they had families dependent on them.
The court said the amount of Rs 1,000, currently being paid per month to such people, was not even Rs 100 per day and asked the government to consider providing them minimum wages.
The bench was hearing a PIL initiated by it after receiving a letter from an AIDS victim, seeking enhancement of the Rs 1,000 pension he received to Rs 3,000.
