Mumbai, Feb 18 (PTI) Pulling up the Maharashtra Government for allegedly indulging in wasteful expenditure while ignoring the deaths of women and children due to malnutrition, the Bombay High Court today asked the state to file an affidavit clarifying its stand on the issue. The court was hearing a suo motu PIL on news reports highlighting deaths due to malnutrition even though crores of rupees have been allocated for the Women and Child Welfare Department. "This money could have been useful to save lives. So many women and children have died," remarked Justice A M Khanwilkar of a division bench. The bench directed the government to file affidavit and kept the PIL for hearing on March 13. Advocate Gayatri Singh, who appeared as Amicus Curiae in the matter, said the Social Justice Department had incurred an expenditure of Rs 1.92 crore on carpets in 2010. According to details submitted by Singh, in 2010, Rs 9.65 crore were spent on banners, Rs 2.88 crore on brochures and Rs 4.5 crore on booklets. "The budgetary allocation is made for each year which lapses automatically if it is not utilised in that year. Therefore, officials try to utilise the amount allocated before the financial year ends," Singh alleged. She told the court that the budgetary allocation for Women and Child Development Department for the year 2010 was Rs 2,400 crore and for the Integrated Child Development Scheme it was Rs 2,100 crore.
