Orders
Case Summary: W.P.(C) No. 254/2004 - J.S. Bawa v. Union of India On 17/09/2010, the Supreme Court heard J.S. Bawa's writ petition filed in 2003 regarding elderly persons' welfare. The Court found the petition had been substantially addressed by the enactment of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, and accordingly disposed of the petition. While the petitioner raised concerns about the 2007 Act's shortcomings and gaps in coverage for Below Poverty Line persons, the Court declined to address these issues within this petition, directing that such concerns be raised in appropriate separate proceedings if desired.
