A public interest petition filed in the Gwalior bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court has raised questions about the utility and financial burden of the state's flagship Ladli Behna scheme on government coffers. The court issued a notice to the state government seeking a detailed response within four weeks.
The petition challenges the scheme's implementation and fiscal impact on the state exchequer. The High Court has also sought comprehensive information regarding the scheme's beneficiaries, payment details, and related records.
The Ladli Behna scheme, launched by the Madhya Pradesh government, aims to provide financial assistance to eligible women. The petition represents a challenge to the program's continuation and operational framework.
The court's directive requires the state government to provide complete documentation and clarification on various aspects of the scheme, including the criteria for beneficiary selection and the total financial commitment involved. The case is expected to see further proceedings after the government's response is filed.
