Question

Tag Qestion :

Beggars do not have any social dignity​

Answer 1

Answer:

Last week, the Delhi High Court struck down Delhi’s anti-beggary law which criminalised the most vulnerable people in society: the destitute. Recognising that destitute persons have equal rights to dignity, the judgment revives the possibility of enacting the Persons in Destitution Model Bill into law. Drafted by the ministry of social justice and empowerment in 2016, the bill defines destitution as a “state of poverty or abandonment” among the elderly, infirm, homeless and disabled people. It directs states to identify such people and provide them shelter, health, counselling and employment services. The Bill and the High Court judgment reveal the State’s evolved disposition towards destitute people: from legally rendering their living conditions a crime — once punishable by detention in government remand homes for up to 10 years — to recognising their Constitutional rights to social programmes and rehabilitation.
