Right To Dignity Not Offended Merely By Queuing Up At Fair Price Shop: High Court On Quashing Delhi Govt's Doorstep Ration Delivery Scheme

Live Law  

The Delhi High Court has observed that a person's right to dignity and privacy is not offended merely because such a person may be required to queue up at a fair price shop outlet. At the outset, the Court also observed that while there was nothing wrong in the Delhi Government entertaining the desire and intention to deliver packaged atta and rice to the beneficiaries under the TPDS at their doorstep, however it said that the same can be done only in accordance with the scheme of the National Food Security Act and the statutory orders under the Essential Commodities Act, and not otherwise. The Court also noted the submission made by the Delhi Government qua suspension of the license of several FPS owners on account of black marketing of foodgrains by such identified FPS owners. The Court thus found that the impugned Scheme was in breach of the statutory protection afforded to the existing Fair Price Shop owners or licencees, and it was founded upon unsubstantiated generalized conclusion, that all Fair Price Shop owners or licencees are indulging in malpractices.
