The Supreme Court should not get into the realm of policy formulation

“I do recognise that food should be available to the people below poverty line at concessional prices. We have not allowed any increase in the issue price of food grain to people below poverty line since 2004,” he said. Making food available free would destroy the incentive for farmers to produce more. And if there was no food available, there would be nothing to distribute, he added.


“This is just the type of activism which creates problems for everybody. I wish the court had given some thought on how the order can be implemented,” he had said.
