In Pics: Supreme Court puts stay on controversial Farm Laws, What it means
Supreme Court put on hold three controversial laws at the core of the massive farmers' protests going on at the Delhi borders.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday (January 12) stayed the implementation of three farms laws until further orders. The apex court also ordered to constitute a four-member committee to be headed by a former Chief Justice of India to resolve the impasse. According to reports, Harsimrat Mann, Dr Pramod Kumar Joshi, agricultural economist Ashok Gulati and Shivkari Sanghatna member Anil Dhanavat will be part of the committee to be set up.
The court, while hearing a clutch of petitions challenging the three central farm laws passed by the Parliament, sought the cooperation of protesting farmers at Delhi borders and said no power can prevent it from setting up a committee to resolve the impasse over controversial farm laws. The observation of the bench asking protesting farmers bodies to cooperate assume significance in view of reports that they would not go to any apex court-appointed panel for resolution of disputes and wanted repeal of laws only.
We take a look at what these decisions from the Apex Court mean...
