A division bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Amit Borkar while dismissing the PIL Challenging the MaharashtraGovernment's 'Ladki Bahin Yojana' and 'Yuva Karya' schemes
Said that , “We are not moved by what you are saying. This is a speech for roads and not courts.”
Further court added that 'tax' is the compulsory extraction of money by the Government. Paying taxes does not entitle an individual to direct how those funds are used. Allocation of tax is at the government's discretion.
The petitioner argued that taxpayers money is being wasted through these schemes and that their taxes should not be used for political motives.
