Environment and Consumer Protection Foundation versus Union of India & Ors.
Supreme Court of India (Division Bench (DB)- Two Judge)
Writ Petition (Civil), 659 of 2007, Judgment Date: Aug 11, 2017
There can be little or no doubt at all that widows in some parts of the country are socially deprived and to an extent ostracized. Perhaps this is the reason why many of them choose to come to Vrindavan and other ashrams where, unfortunately, they are not treated with the dignity they deserve. This is evident from the article that caused this public interest litigation and the compilation of reports that this litigation has generated. It is to give voice these hapless widows that it became necessary for this Court to intervene as a part of its constitutional duty and for reasons of social justice to issue appropriate directions.
