”The Supreme Court and the Ministry have their own sides and courses of action, their budget and plans are different,” Minister Tumbahangphe said, adding facilitation for allocating required budget to the SC, high and district courts went on, but all bodies were facing budgetary constraint as public health had been the foremost priority of the hour and ahead.
