Taxpayers have no say in how money is to be spent, says Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court dismissed a PIL aimed at quashing the Mukhya Mantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana and Mukhya Mantri Yuva Karya Prashikshan Yojana. The petitioner argued that taxpayer money should prioritize infrastructure, but the court upheld the welfare schemes. The judges emphasized the schemes’ alignment with Directive Principles of State Policy and justified targeting disadvantaged groups.
