Lakshadweep to put proposal for shifting HC jurisdiction from Kerala to Karnataka

The Lakshadweep administration, which has been encountering extensive protests over its policies, has mooted a proposal to shift its legal jurisdiction from the Kerala High Court to the Karnataka High Court, officials said. These decisions included revising standard operating procedures (SOP) for Covid appropriate behavior, the introduction of the "goonda act" and demolishing hutments of fishermen for widening of roads.

Patel, who is the administrator of Daman and Diu, was given the additional charge of the UT’s  of Lakshadweep in the first week of December last year, when the former administrator Dineshwar Sharma died after a brief illness.

However, for reasons best known to the island's administration, which is under the spotlight over its handling of these issues, it has made a proposal for shifting its legal jurisdiction from the high court of Kerala to Karnataka.  Efforts to seek comments from the advisor of the administrator, A Anbarasu, and Collector of Lakshadweep S Asker Ali did not fructify. Mails to their official e-mails and WhatsApp messages did not elicit any response to a question asking the rationale behind mooting of the proposal for shifting of legal jurisdiction.
