Orders
Summary of W.P.(C) No. 659/2007 On 31-07-2018, the Supreme Court disposed of the writ petitions relating to widow homes and related social welfare issues. The Court imposed additional costs of Rs. 1,00,000 on Uttarakhand for non-appearance and failure to deposit costs (to be paid within four weeks), waived costs for Jammu & Kashmir, and directed U.P. to operationalize a widow home in Vrindavan by 01-09-2018. HUDCO was tasked with maintaining widow homes nationwide under its CSR scheme, state governments were directed to implement an expert committee report on women's welfare, and no further monitoring was ordered as implementation responsibilities were delegated to the National Commission for Women, State Commissions, and respective State Governments.
