The petition 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, even for those who are vaccinated. He has also requested to exempt students from this condition.

He further said that the Karnataka Government’s order is in conflict with the directions issued by the Central Government directing State Governments, to not mandate RT-PCR test for fully vaccinated peoples to cross from one state to another.
