Begging cannot be a criminal offense, says center to High Court
On Wednesday, Delhi High Court confirmed that begging is not a criminal offense in the national capital. It said that the Delhi government can rather bring any law which will check if there is any racket of forced begging. After hearing 2 PILs on basic human and fundamental rights for beggars, the law was passed. The petitioners have requested for proper food and medical facilities at all the beggar homes in the capital.
