The petitioner had moved the Supreme Court challenging the High Court’s order dismissing the petition. The petitioner had in his petition challenged the legality of the PM Cares Fund, alleging that money is being diverted from Ministries and other government agencies.

SC rejects petition against PM Cares Fund.
