HC tells AAI to clarify if Aarogya Setu is mandatory
The Karnataka High Court has directed the Airports Authority of India (AAI) to submit whether it is mandatory for the air travellers to download the Aarogya Setu application.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka and Justice Ashok S Kinagi passed the order while hearing a PIL filed by Anivar A Aravind, challenging the compulsory use of the App in many services.
During the hearing on Monday, the senior counsel appearing for the petitioner pointed out that AAI has made it mandatory for the air passengers to download the App. The instruction was given on July 30 to all the airports, including five airports in the state. The bench also asked the state government to clarify on the guideline issued.
