Question

It is estimated that there are about three million urban homeless in India. Night shelters are not available for more than 5% of this population. Hundreds of these old, sick homeless people are killed by cold wave during winter. They cannot have ration and voting cards in the absence of any 'proof of residence'. Without these documents they also cannot avail government help as needy patients. A large number of these homeless people are casual workers, who earn very low wages. They travel to the city in search of work from different parts of the country.
What kind of order would you respect the supreme court to issue?

Measures

         Direct government to Increase numbers of the night shelters.

         Without proof of residence it is not possible to avail benefits from government schemes like PMDAY, even getting AADHAR is not possible. However those who are migrant workers may have place of residence at their native town and they can get their AADHAR done. In fact Supreme Court can direct government  to consider these people for different welfare scheme.
