Policy is devised on the basis of Procedures and guidelines which govern the objective of an organisation. But a Scheme is set of conditions built for implementation over a specified time period which is amendable and review from time to time.

Policy is the basic principles by which a government or any organization is guided. For Example, it is the policy of the government to provide livelihood to the poor people.

Scheme is an elaborate and systematic plan of action to implement the policy. E.g. National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme.

As for your question, whether policy is to be challenged or scheme is to be challenged before a Court.

Neither the Policy or the Scheme can be challenged. However, if there is any wrong doing in implementing the Scheme, then the wrong doing can be challenged, mainly by the aggrieved, since it is goes against the scheme itself. In some cases, the Courts permit any third party (though not directly aggrieved) to challenge the wrong doing by way of public interest litigation.

Yes, in this manner all the policy and the schemes of the Government goes down the drain.

very well explained by both Mr. Parthasarathi Loganathan and Mr. R.Ramachandran, but why Mr. Anonymous is still silent is not understood. Whether he has understood it or still expecting some more explanations. He has not bothered to thank the experts Mr. Parthasarathi loganathan and Mr. R.Ramachandran. Atleast courtesy requires it to do it.
