Supreme Court Adjourns Duare Ration Case
The Supreme Court has postponed the hearing of a case about West Bengal's Duare Ration scheme to January 15, 2026.
This scheme was meant to deliver food grains to people's homes.
The Bengal government is challenging a decision by the Calcutta High Court that said the scheme was against the law.
The Supreme Court had earlier told everyone to keep things as they are so that people don't face any problems.
The case is similar to a scheme in Delhi that was also stopped by a court.
The Bengal government wants to continue the scheme, but the ration dealers who filed the petition are against it.
The Supreme Court adjourned the hearing of Bengal's Duare Ration scheme case to January 15, 2026.
The Bengal government is challenging the Calcutta High Court's judgment that the scheme violates the National Food Security Act, 2013.
The adjournment was due to the senior advocates representing the Bengal government being occupied with another case.
The Supreme Court had earlier ordered a status quo to ensure no inconvenience to the common people.
The case is similar to a scheme in Delhi that was struck down by the Delhi High Court in May 2022.
