Kerala HC Dismisses Petition Protesting Against PM Modi's Photograph On Covid-19 Vaccination Certificate

The Kerala High Court (HC) has asserted that citizens should not be so intolerant that they cannot even withstand the Prime Minister’s (PM) photograph on the Covid-19 vaccination certificate, Hindustan Times reports.

Following a rejection from a single-judge bench, the petitioner challenged the verdict and moved the matter to a division bench, which dismissed the appeal as well.

The division bench, made of Chief Justice S Manikumar and Justice Shaji P Chaly, expressed that they failed to understand how the PM’s photograph interfered with the appellant’s fundamental rights.

Back in December 2021, the single-judge bench had dismissed the concerned petition, claiming that it was ‘frivolous’ and filed with ‘ulterior motives’.
