Mandating use of Aarogya Setu app illegal: Justice B N Srikrishna

https://indianexpress.com/article/india/aarogya-setu-app-mandate-illegal-justice-b-n-srikrishna-6405535/“Under what law do you mandate it on anyone? So far it is not backed by any law.

Justice Srikrishna said that the guidelines cannot be considered as having sufficient legal backing to make the use of Aarogya Setu mandatory.
