A bench of justices D K Jain and Madan B Lokur directed the two commissions to file their affidavits within two weeks explaining as to what they have done or propose to do for the widows, living in "pathetic" condition in the holy city.
The bench also directed the state government to provide medical facilities for the widows.
It directed the Vrindavan chief medical officer to ensure that a team of doctors visits the widows' shelter at least twice a week.
Recording the statement of state government's counsel, the bench said a committee of State Probationary Officer and Social Welfare Officer would ensure that proper food and drinking water are supplied to the widows' home.
The court passed the order on pleas seeking its direction to the Centre and the state government to provide shelter and other necessary facilities to the widows in the city who have been abandoned by their family members.
The court had earlier issued notices on the petitions highlighting the plight of widows who have been living in Vrindavan and begging at temples and then huddling together in hovels, which they call their homes.
