“They should also work for the country. Everyone is working. Everything cannot be provided by the State. You (petitioner) are just increasing the population of this section of the society,” the high court
The Bombay High Court on Saturday said that homeless persons and beggars should also work for the country as everything cannot be provided to them by the State. A division Bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice G. S. Kulkarni said this while disposing of a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by one Brijesh Aarya, seeking directions to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to provide nutritious meals thrice a day, potable water, shelter and clean public toilets for homeless persons, beggars and poor people in the city. The BMC informed the court that food packets were being distributed to such people all over Mumbai with the help of NGOs, and sanitary napkins were being provided to the women from this section of the society.
