Hearing a public interest litigation filed by NGO Amguri Naba Nirman Samity, a high court division bench comprising Chief Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia and Justice Soumitra Saikia asked the Assam government to file a detailed status report on the case.

Guwahati: Nearly 12 lakh ineligible farmers received benefits under the ambitious Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) Scheme in Assam, the state government has informed Gauhati high court indicating a massive scam in the farmer flagship programme.

Hearing a public interest litigation filed by NGO Amguri Naba Nirman Samity, a high court division bench comprising Chief Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia and Justice Soumitra Saikia asked the Assam government to file a detailed status report on the case.

“The state has filed an affidavit wherein it has admitted that over eleven lakh persons have been wrongly given the benefit of the aforesaid scheme,” the HC order given on Tuesday said.

The affidavit, filed by the joint secretary to the agriculture department Gunajeet Kashyap, stated that a government probe conducted by chief secretary Jishnu Barua in 2020 had found that 11.72 lakh ineligible people had received benefits under the PM-KISAN scheme.

The bench said the Assam advocate general has made a statement that the issue raised in the PIL is genuine.
