Abstract. In this paper, we have taken an attempt to study the feasibility of scale covariant theory(Canuto et al., 1977) of gravity in kink space-time with a gauge function β being independent of time and a matter field in the form of a perfect fluid. It is found that the perfect fluid does not survive and kink space–time turns out to be flat in this theory.
