'Deal in humane manner'
The financial difficulty being with all the migrant labourers invariably, they (migrants) have to be dealt by the police and other authorities in a humane manner. The DGP/Police Commissioner concerned may issue necessary directions in this regard.
"
Noting that migrant workers were still stranded in various states, especially in Maharashtra, Delhi, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, a Bench headed by Justice Ashok Bhushan said all migrant workers should be identified and registered for sending them back home.
It said the government should publicise the places for identifying/registering migrants wanting to go home.

The Bench, which also included Justice SK Kaul and Justice MR Shah, asked states and UTs to consider withdrawing criminal cases lodged against migrant labourers for alleged violation of Covid-19 lockdown, saying their action was due to difficult circumstances.
The top court also ordered states/UTs to set up help desks and counselling centres to help migrants, who have returned home, to find employment. If they wanted to travel back for employment, states should facilitate their travel, it added. Asking the Centre, states and UTs to file further affidavits, the top court posted the matter for hearing on July 8.
