There Should Be Uniform, Consistent Policy on Travel across Delhi-NCR: SC

A PIL was filed by advocates Anindita Mitra and Aman Bhalla, earlier last month. The plea challenges the constitutionality of the decisions of three administrations in restricting movement of individuals for permissible activities and the necessity of applying for passes for each of these states on various State government portals.

Agreeing that people are suffering due to contradictory policies of the Governments of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, the Bench comprising of Justices Ashok Bhushan, SK Kaul and MR Shah was of the opinion that there should be only one consolidated policy to govern movement across NCR.

Accordingly, the Bench stated that they would ask the Centre to convene a meeting of the States, for them to endeavor to find a common for interstate movement.
