💨 Abstract

The Jharkhand High Court has dismissed a PIL challenging the Maiyan Samman Yojana, a scheme providing financial support to women in need, launched by the Hemant Soren government. The scheme, initially for women aged 21-50, was revised to include women above 18. Critics accused the government of using the scheme as a political tool, but the court declined to interfere with the policy decision.
