1. This Court has suo moto taken up this issue and is spending considerable judicial time thereon as the recent incidents, in our view, are indicative of a disturbing trend, which threatens the integrity of the country, of intolerance to movement of people within the country when The Constitution of India, in Article 19(1)(d)&(e) recognises and confers on all citizens the right to move freely throughout the territory of India and to reside and settle in any part of the territory of India and Article 301 thereof provides that trade, commerce and intercourse throughout territory of India shall be free. No native of any State of India can be allowed to, by harassing, offending and by other criminal acts, prevent people from another State to settle and carry on any business or vocation therein. Today, when the boundaries between countries and restrictions on movement internationally are disappearing, it is unfortunate that a small cross section of society is attempting to put up barriers to movement within the country. The Constitution of India does not provide for, India as a confederation of States, broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls but as a Union of States.
