ANUN DHAWAN & ORS. versus UNION OF INDIA & ORS.

Because the National Food Security Act, 2013 provides a comprehensive rights-based statutory framework (entitlements, lifecycle approach, monitoring and grievance redressal) and States/UTs have implemented various schemes under it, the Court will not direct States/UTs to implement Community Kitchens; matters of policy formulation and implementation are primarily for the executive and subject to limited judicial review confined to legality rather than wisdom.

SWARAJ ABHIYAN - (II) versus UNION OF INDIA & ORS.

The Court held that while it cannot mandate States to provide food items beyond statutory entitlements under the NFS Act, it can direct faithful implementation of the Act's provisions. States are obligated to make operational grievance redress machinery, provide food grains to all households in drought-affected areas, and ensure nutritional support for children under the Mid-Day Meal Scheme. Financial constraints cannot excuse these constitutional and statutory obligations.
