The Mumbai Port Trust (MPT) issued a circular ordering RT-PCR tests every 10 days for unvaccinated staff, which the Bombay High Court affirmed. The test mandate was found to be a legitimate constraint on their basic rights by the Court. Those who refuse to get the covid vaccine put themselves at a higher danger of getting and transmitting the virus, according to the court. A division bench of Justices SJ Kathawalla and Abhay Ahuja dismissed a petition filed by seven Mumbai Port Trust (MPT) employees contesting a June 2021 circular on the grounds that it discriminated between vaccinated and unvaccinated staff.
