The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Thursday ordered notice to the Centre and the State governments in a public interest litigation petition that sought a direction to the State to do away with the e-pass system and allow people to travel freely without any restrictions.
A Division Bench of Justices M. Sathyanarayanan and P. Rajamanickam ordered notices in the PIL petition filed by P. Rathinam from Madurai. He challenged the government order that said e-pass will continue to be in force for both inter-State and inter-district travel. The case was adjourned to September 19 for further hearing.
