The Supreme Court Monday refused to entertain the Centre's plea against the Delhi High Court order directing the AAP government not to stop or curtail the supply of foodgrains or flour to fair price shops.
A bench of Justices L N Rao and B R Gavai said the September 27 order under challenge is interim and the matter is listed before the high court on November 22 and therefore it would not like to entertain it.
We are not inclined to entertain this matter as it is still pending before the high court, the bench said and urged the Delhi High Court to dispose of the matter on November 22 itself with no parties taking any adjournment.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, said this matter has wide ramifications and is against the provisions of the National Food Security Act.
He said the Act provides a mechanism for the distribution of foodgrains to the beneficiaries but the question arises that can a state government deviate from the mode of distribution prescribed under the central law.
As per the law, the foodgrains are allotted by the Centre to the Fair Price Shops which in turn are distributed among the beneficiaries.
What the Delhi government is proposing to do under the scheme is to select private agents to deliver foodgrains to the door steps of the beneficiaries, he said, adding that the Delhi government says that the grains will be converted to flour and distributed to the people.
The bench said that these arguments can very well be raised before the High Court.
