Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a special leave petition filed by AKM Ashraf, member of the Kerala Legislative Assembly assailing the Kerala High Court's refusal to entertain his petition challenging State of Karnataka's decision to restrict entry of people from Kerala unless they possess a negative RT PCR test certificate. Case Before Kerala High Court The writ petition before the High Court sought urgent orders to allow free movement of daily commuters of people of Kerala to Karnataka by lifting the mandatory condition to possess a negative RT-PCR Certificate taken within 72 hours of travel, irrespective of having taken at least one dose of Covid Vaccine. The petitioner challenged the following two orders before the Kerala High Court: Order dated 31.07.2021 issued by the Chief Secretary, Government of Karnataka directing that for entry from Kerala to the State of Karnataka the travellers including students, professionals, businessmen who travel on a daily basis will have to undergo RT PCR test even if they are fully vaccinated. Details Of The Petition According to the petitioner, the Kerala High Court's decision to dismiss his petition for want of territorial Jurisdiction since impugned order was passed by the State of Karnataka was incorrect and the cause of action in the present matter was clearly within the State of Kerala, as effect of these two orders are felt gravely by the people of Kerala.
