Need to balance welfare measures & economy’s health: Supreme Court on freebies

The CJI said, “The economy losing money or getting ruined is one issue and, at the same time, welfare measures for the poor... both have to be considered. Both have to be balanced. That is the reason why we initiated the debate. We want an expert panel to put its collective thinking and wisdom into the issue and give a report which can be the basis for the court to take some measures.”
