PM CARES fund: Centre asks Bombay HC to dismiss petition seeking details of donations, expenditure

-Scroll.in

The petitioner, a lawyer, also demanded that the government appoint or nominate at least two members from opposition parties for transparency.

The Centre on Tuesday requested the Bombay High Court to dismiss a petition seeking that the donations and expenditure of the Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund, or PM CARES fund, – created to tackle the coronavirus pandemic – be made public, PTI reported.

The petition, filed by a lawyer, asked the government to declare the receipts and expenditure of the fund on the official website periodically.

The petitioner also alleged that no trustees had been appointed to the fund since its creation in March, even though guidelines specified that three more people had to be brought on board. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the chairperson of the fund and ministers from departments of defence, home and finance are its members. The petitioner demanded that the government appoint or nominate at least two members from opposition parties for transparency.
