Delhi High Court Questions MP/MLA Endorsement Requirement for Lakshmi Yojana Benefits
The Delhi High Court questioned the Delhi government's requirement for women to obtain endorsements from local MPs or MLAs to access benefits under the Delhi Lakshmi Yojana. The court noted that the scheme's eligibility criteria do not mandate such endorsements and suggested alternative methods to determine eligibility. It directed the government to clarify this issue, with further hearings scheduled. The challenge arose from a public interest litigation contesting the endorsement condition.
