Hearing petitions seeking to decriminalise begging, Delhi High Court said, "How is begging an offence in a country where you (government) are not able to provide food or jobs?" "It is out of sheer necessity that someone puts out a hand to beg for food," the court observed. The petitioners also sought human and fundamental rights for beggars in Delhi.
