"Has there been some gross infringement? Why should we become the court of first instance here?", said the Supreme Court on Monday while hearing a PIL by residents of Sonepat, Haryana for opening up of the Singhu border which links Haryana to Delhi, blocked by farmers protesting against the three controversial farm laws.
"You are residents of Sonepat, why did you not go to the High Court only? It is the High Court that is aware of the specific situation and whatever is happening locally, so it is better suited to deal with these issues. Why should we have to interfere? These petitions are filed before the Supreme Court for publicity", said Justice Chandrachud.
