In Brief
The Supreme Court heard a public interest petition concerning the implementation of the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana–National Urban Livelihood Mission across Indian States. The Court found that States were not adequately implementing the urban homeless shelter scheme. The Court directed the appointment of State-level committees, required Chief Secretaries to personally appear and account for progress, declined West Bengal's belated affidavit submission, and mandated special audits of fund utilization. Haryana's vision document was approved as a model for other States. The matter was adjourned for further hearings with specific compliance requirements.
