The Government of Kerala in India has reached the Supreme Court against the Citizenship Amendment Act.
Earlier, on December 31, a resolution was passed in the Kerala Legislative Assembly appealing to the Central Government to withdraw this law.
The Modi government rejected the appeal of the Kerala government.
Now the Kerala government has reached the Supreme Court with the demand for cancellation of this law. Chief Ministers of many states have expressed their opposition against the CAA but Kerala is the first state to challenge this law in the Supreme Court.
The Government of Kerala has filed a petition under Article 131 of the Constitution.
According to the Kerala petition, the CAA violates the basic structure of the Constitution apart from Articles 14, 21 and 25 of the Constitution.
