The three-member committee appointed by the Supreme Court submitted its report on the Centre’s farm laws on Wednesday.
The committee has reportedly consulted 85 farmer organisations while compiling its report on the farm legislations, in order to work out a solution to the demands of the agitating farmers.
The Supreme Court is likely to take up the case for hearing after April 5, once the Holi vacation ends.
On Republic Day this year, the farmers’ protests and a tractor rally at Delhi’s borders had erupted into large-scale rioting, violence and damage top public property in the nation’s capital.
Earlier in January, the Supreme Court had stayed the implementation of the farm laws after expressing disappointment with how the Centre had handled the protests and the talks with the farmers’ unions.
“Talks are breaking down because Centre wants to discuss point by point of law and farmers want the entire laws to be repealed. We will stay the implementation of the Farm Acts.”, the CJI had observed.
CJI SA Bobde had then remarked that people were committing suicides, suffering from the cold weather and gone on to raise questions about why are old people and women were present in the protest. “We don’t want to comment on the agitation”, the CJI had said.
