In Brief
In this 2020 writ petition filed during the COVID-19 pandemic, the petitioner sought expedited implementation of the One Nation One Ration Card Scheme to assist migrant workers. The three-judge bench heard arguments from the petitioner's counsel and the Solicitor General representing the Union of India. The Court directed the Government to evaluate the feasibility of implementing the scheme at that juncture given the pandemic circumstances and to take an appropriate decision accordingly. The petition was disposed with this direction."
