The High Court has declared the Act 2019 to facilitate the former Chief Ministers of Uttarakhand as unconstitutional. The advocate of the petitioners, Dr Karthikeya Hari Gupta, said that the court has given this decision considering the violation of Article 14 of the Constitution of India, while the court said that the provisions of the Act violate the established rules.

The court has also found the Act in violation of Articles 202 to 207 of the Constitution of India. Now all former Chief Ministers will have to pay the rent from the market value. The Court said that the State will be responsible for calculating and recovering the money spent for all other facilities given to them as former Chief Ministers of the State.

The decision was reserved on 23 March 2020 after hearing the case before the bench of Chief Justice Ramesh Ranganathan and Justice RC Khulbe. According to the case, the Rural Litigation Association of Dehradun had filed a PIL in the High Court challenging the ordinance of the state government, which had exempted the state government from paying the rent of former chief ministers on the basis of the market rate. The institution said that it is against the constitution.
