ANUN DHAWAN vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court, while addressing a petition under Article 32, emphasized the constitutional duty of the Union and State Governments to combat hunger and malnutrition through various schemes such as Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana and Poshan Abhiyan. The Court acknowledged the steps taken by the governments but highlighted the need for a comprehensive approach to ensure food security and basic sustainability of human life. The Court ultimately held that continued monitoring by the judiciary is not necessary as the governments have demonstrated their commitment to protecting the fundamental rights of citizens.
