A bench comprising Justices Ashok Bhushan, Sanjay Kishan Kaul and M.R. Shah gave one week’s time to the Centre to decide upon a common policy, common portal and one pass for inter-state travel in the region

Justice Kaul emphasized that for the NCR region, there should be a consistent policy. The bench noted that no counsel has appeared for the Delhi government though it was served on the matter. “One policy, one path and one portal required”, said the bench.

Emphasizing on developing a consensus among the officials concerned in the Delhi NCR region, the bench said all state officials shall endeavour to find out a common program and portal for inter-state movement. “Let the needful be done within a week”, said the court.
