The Supreme Court today expressed displeasure that several states and union territories have not filed affidavits on a plea regarding old age homes in India. The top court said, it was quite obvious that the authorities were not concerned about the aged. A bench of Justices Madan B Lokur and Deepak Gupta was informed that 23 states and union territories (UTs) have filed their affidavits, while 11 others have not furnished the details yet.<br/><br/>The apex court was unhappy that neither were affidavits filed by 11 states and UTs, nor were the advocates, appearing for states like Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Mizoram, Madhya Pradesh and UTs of Daman and Diu and Lakshdeep, present before it during the hearing. The court granted last opportunity to the defaulting states, which also include Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Telangana, to file their affidavits within three weeks.<br/><br/>The apex court had in September last year sought replies from the states and UTs regarding the status of old age homes in every district for protection of rights of senior citizens. The bench posted the matter for hearing on March 22.
