Top court upholds HC order to resume MGNREGA in Bengal
Hindustan Times
|October 28, 2025
The Supreme Court on Monday upheld a Calcutta high court order directing the Centre to resume the employment guarantee scheme of MGNREGA in West Bengal.
‘The scheme was put on hold in 2022 following allegations of embezzlement of funds.
‘A bench of justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta passed the order while dismissing an appeal of the Centre challenging the high court order passed on June 18 this year. The high court noted that due to alleged embezzlement it will be open for Centre to impose such conditions or restrictions exclusive to the state as it ordered the scheme to be implemented from August 1.
Solicitor general Tushar Mehta appearing for Centre pointed out that the high court could not have directed the resumption of MGNREGA as widespread corruption in the implementation of the scheme had led to the decision of keeping it on hold.
