Kerala governor Arif Mohammed Khan has sought a report from the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front government for moving the Supreme Court against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) without informing him.

The office of Raj Bhavan sought the report from the chief secretary of the state.

'The governor's office has sought a report from the chief secretary for not informing him about the state's move to approach the apex court against the CAA,' a top source from Raj Bhavan told PTI on Sunday.

The governor has been at loggerheads with the government ever since the state Assembly passed a resolution last month, seeking to scrap the new law.

Khan had also publicly expressed his displeasure over the government not informing him moving moving the Supreme Court against the CAA.

The governor had on Thursday expressed dismay for not being informed of the government's move to approach the Supreme Court.

'Even the rules of the Assembly provide that the legislature shall not discuss any subject which does not come under their constitutional jurisdiction. I have no problem if they go to the Supreme Court. Even there I feel, without informing the constitutional head of the state, what they have done is improper,' Khan had said.

'Yet I do not find anything wrong with it. I do not find any fault with their decision to go to Supreme Court, why because, Constitution gives that authority to the Supreme Court. But the protocol demanded that they should have informed me first,' the governor had added.
