The interim order issued by the Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday to halt the immediate implementation of the government's decision to distribute funds to disqualified Maoist combatants is a laudable one. This decision has rightly highlighted the gross injustice of the government's reckless move, which would burden the already strained state treasury and neglect the welfare of the citizens. By issuing this interim order, the SC has shown its commitment to upholding justice, accountability, and transparency in the governance system.
