Is Delhi govt pension scheme only for sr citizens? PIL in HC

Is the Delhi government obligated to pay pension to destitute persons, widows, eunuchs and the orphans till they turn 18, apart from senior citizens and those with over 40 per cent disability, is a question raised in a plea before the Delhi High Court.
A bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar issued notice to the Delhi government and sought its stand on whether it will provide pension to destitute persons, widows, eunuchs and orphans who used to receive the benefit under the schemes of the municipal corporations taken over by it.
The court was hearing an application moved by an NGO, Social Jurist, alleging that the Delhi government under its pension scheme was only considering senior citizens and those with disability of 40 per cent or more.

In its application filed through advocate Ashok Aggarwal, the NGO has said the government took over the responsibility of providing pension from the corporations which under their schemes provided the monetary benefit to destitute persons, disabled, widows, those who are insane, divorcee women, eunuch and also to orphans, till they turn 18, besides senior citizens.
The application questions how the government, after taking over the responsibility, can restrict the benefit of the scheme to only some categories.
The Delhi government had taken over the scheme after the municipal corporations stopped the monetary benefits due to lack of funds.
The Delhi government, represented by its lawyer Santosh Tripathi, said it was carrying out a verification process.
