Zoom News : Feb 23, 2022, 09:37 AM
The Bombay High Court has termed the Maharashtra government's order to allow only people taking both doses of the Kovid-19 vaccine to travel in local trains as illegal and brazenly affecting the fundamental rights of the people. The Maharashtra government will take a decision in this regard in a meeting to be held on February 25.

A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Dutta and Justice MS Karnik said that the three laws, signed by Chief Secretary Sitaram Kunte, are clear changes in the prescribed disaster management rules and have resulted in violation of fundamental rights of citizens.

Public prosecutor Anil Anturkar told the court that these orders of July 15, August 10 and August 11 have been withdrawn.

The government will issue new instructions for this by calling a meeting on February 25. In this, the conditions imposed on the journey may or may not be withdrawn in view of the latest situation of Kovid-19 infection. I can't say anything more than this.
