The Kerala High Court on Monday set aside the State government's order reducing the price of RT PCR tests from ₹1700 to ₹500 in all the private diagnostic labs in the State.
Justice T.R. Ravi also directed the State government to take up within three weeks, a fresh call on the price of RT PCR tests being conducted in private laboratories after holding a discussion with the owners or representatives of the lab.
The directives were passed on a few writ petitions by Accredited Molecular Testing Laboratories and another private lab challenging the order slashing the price of RT PCR tests.
