NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday told the government that it intends to set up a committee comprising representatives of farmers unions across India, government and other stakeholders to resolve this issue and posted the matter for tomorrow.
Here is a look at what the Supreme Court said
1
A Bench of Chief Justice SA Bobde and Justices AS Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian was hearing a batch of petitions seeking a direction to the authorities to immediately remove the farmers who are protesting at several border points of Delhi against three new farm laws. The petitioner cited the apex court's Shaheen Bagh judgment which banned protest from blocking of roads.
2
The court told solicitor general Tushar Mehta that it intends to set up a committee comprising representatives of farmers unions across India, Govt and other stakeholders to resolve this issue.
3
The court observed that "because this will soon become a national issue and with Government, it won't work out it seems."
4
"Your negotiations with protesting farmers have not worked apparently till now," Supreme Court told Centre.
5
The SC granted permission to implead farmer organisations.
6
The SC said urgent resolution measures through negotiations are required to be taken as the farmers at Delhi border do not appear to be in a mood to talk.
7
When Delhi government through counsel Rahul Mehra talked for a repeal of farm laws, solicitor general Tushar Mehta said Delhi Govt had no role in the issue at hand, to which the apex court agreed.
8
The solicitor general said that the Centre will not do anything to harm farmers’ interest and is ready to negotiate.
