\n

Supreme Court:<\/span> While considering the matter concerning issuing ration cards to migrant labourers, the Division Bench of Sudhanshu Dhulia and Ahsanuddin Amanullah, JJ., directed that all such persons who are eligible\/entitled for Ration Cards\/ foodgrains as per the National Food Security Act, 2013<\/a> (NFSA) and have been identified as such by the respective States\/Union Territories, must be issued Ration Cards before 19-11-2024. The Court also directed that such eligible labourers should be provided with foodgrains forthwith. Expressing its displeasure, the Court said that “Patience may be a virtue — but ours is nearing its end<\/span>”<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The Court strictly directed that the Secretaries (Food and Civil Supplies) of States where despite identification, Ration Cards have not been issued on or before 19-11.2024, shall remain present in person before the Court on the next date of hearing, to explain as to why Ration Cards have not been issued despite identification, and repeated orders in the regard.<\/p>\n

Lastly, the Court directed the Registry to list the instant matter as priority for 19-11-2024.<\/p>\n
