New Delhi : The Centre today said that it has prepared a roadmap to improve the condition of shelter homes for destitute widows in the country after the Supreme Court sought a report over the issue.
A bench comprising Justices Madan B Lokur and Deepak Gupta was informed by Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar that they have furnished the agreed directions as sought by the court, in which they have also given a roadmap to deal with the issue.
However, the bench observed, "All that you (Centre) are saying is that you are doing a very good job."
The court fixed the matter for hearing next week.
It had said that the government and other stakeholders should sit together and come out with a list of "agreed directions", which may be passed by the court.
It had earlier referred to various reports filed by the National Legal Services Authority, the District Legal Services Authority and the NCW on the condition of shelter homes for widows in Vrindavan.
The court was hearing the pleas seeking directions to the Centre and the state government to provide shelter and other necessary facilities to the widows in Vrindavan who have been abandoned by their family members.
In a report filed in the court, the statutory women's body had recommended fixing of liability on the children under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007.
