State government clarifies that Gruhalakshmi Yojana benefits are not a right, court directs counter-arguments

During a hearing before the two-judge bench led by Justice Anu Sivaraman, the state government clarified that 'Gruhalakshmi Yojana beneficiaries cannot claim the ₹2,000 monthly financial aid as a right.' The government's counsel stated that the implementation of the scheme is subject to administrative necessity and the state's financial condition. The court subsequently directed the petitioners' lawyers to file a counter-argument to the government's objection, granting them two weeks.
