NEW DELHI: The Kerala government has moved the Supreme Court challenging the Citizenship Amendment Act and has sought to declare it as

ultra vires

the Constitution.

In a suit filed in the apex court, the Kerala government has sought to declare that the CAA 2019 is violative of Article 14 (Equality before law), 21 (Protection of life and personal liberty) and 25 (Freedom of conscience and free profession, practice, and propagation of religion) of the Constitution as well as violative of the basic principle of secularism enshrined in it.

Very unfortunate for the opposition ruled states to challenge the CAA passed by the Parliament in the SC. Neither the states nor the SC are supreme to the Parliament working under the constitution.
