Mukhyamantri Krishak Durghatna Kalyan Yojana | Sufficient Cause for Delay Justifies Reconsideration of Rejected Claims Under Beneficial Legislation : Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court has ruled that delays in claiming compensation under the Mukhyamantri Krishak Durghatna Kalyan Yojana are not fatal if sufficient cause is shown, reinforcing that beneficial social welfare schemes must be interpreted liberally. This sets a critical precedent for thousands of farmers whose claims were arbitrarily rejected on technical grounds, mandating authorities to decide on merits within eight weeks.
