Bombay High Court Dismisses Petition Against Maharashtra's Stipend Scheme For Women
Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Monday criticised those who had gone to court against his government's Mukhyamantri Ladki Bahin Yojana, under which women with an annual family income of less than Rs 2.5 lakh will get monthly financial aid of Rs 1,500. The PIL filed by these "sly step brothers" has been rejected by court, he said in Pune. The Bombay High Court on Monday said the Maharashtra government's 'Ladki Bahin Yojana' is a beneficiary scheme for women and cannot be said to be discriminatory.
