Madurai The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has sought a response from the State government on how the public distribution system (PDS) was functioning in the State after the court was told that the rice distributed through PDS is not consumable by humans. The court was told that since the rice was not consumable, the ration card holders got the rice from the ration shop and sold the same. The submission was made during the course of the hearing of an anticipatory bail plea filed by a man apprehending arrest by police for illegally transporting PDS rice.
