Judge : I haven't decided on anything. I will go through pleadings and grounds and give you time to file counter affidavit if I feel it's necessary.
Joy summarises grounds raised 1. No public purpose or utility 2. Certificate is private space of individual, not a place for public campaigning 3. Certificate holder is similar to captive audience 4. Influences voter's mind #PMModi#VaccinationCertificate#keralahighcourt
