JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH) 26-11-2015 The present public interest litigation has been filed on behalf of the petitioner making a grievance that concerned authorities of the State Government and Integrated Child Development Scheme ( ICDS) have misappropriated huge public money meant for 'Take Home Ration Schemes'.

3. If the petitioner has sufficient material/information in his possession in order to substantiate his plea of misappropriation of the Government money, it would always open to him to take recourse to appropriate provisions of law including criminal law.
