India, Oct. 28 -- The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed the Centre's plea challenging the Calcutta high court order which directed that MGNREGA, the 100-day job guarantee scheme, be implemented prospectively in West Bengal from August 1, 2025. A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta refused to entertain the plea filed against the June 18 order of the high court, saying the high court's order did not warrant interference. In its order, the high court said the Centre is fully empowered to impose special conditions, and regulations, which haven't imposed in other states to ensure no irregularity occurs while the scheme is being implemented in Bengal.
