In Brief
A public interest litigation petition sought to challenge the grant of funds by the Central Government to Jammu & Kashmir as allegedly violating constitutional provisions, and prayed for criminal prosecution of authorities under the IPC and Prevention of Corruption Act. The Supreme Court dismissed the petition, holding that fund allocation to States for security purposes falls within the exclusive domain of the Central Government. The Court found the matter not judicially manageable and declined to entertain PIL questioning such executive discretionary decisions.
