Centre Defends PM CARES Fund in Supreme Court, Asks for PIL to be Dismissed

The Centre on Thursday defended the PM CARES fund in the Supreme Court and maintained that donations to the fund were ‘voluntary’ and that the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) before the Supreme Court should be dismissed. The Centre for Public Interest Litigation (CPIL) had filed the PIL seeking transfer of all funds in the PM CARES Fund to the National Disaster Response Fund which was set up under the Disaster management Act of 2005.
It is estimated that in May alone, contributions to the fund have crossed 1 billion US dollars. No details are available to how the funds have been spent.
