How does the Supreme Court differentiate between providing free ration during a pandemic and giving freebies

Clarification of the difference between providing essentials during pandemic and giving freebies.
1. The Supreme Court differentiates between providing free ration during a pandemic and giving freebies based on the intent and purpose behind the assistance.
  • During a pandemic, providing free ration is a necessity to ensure the survival and well-being of individuals facing financial hardships due to unforeseen circumstances.
  • Freebies, on the other hand, are typically offered for political or promotional purposes without a genuine need or crisis prompting the assistance.
  • The focus of providing essentials during a pandemic is on addressing urgent humanitarian needs and public welfare, while freebies are often given as incentives or giveaways.
By considering the context, motivation, and impact of the assistance, the Supreme Court determines whether it serves a legitimate purpose or falls under the category of freebies.
