Farmers Protest : Supreme Court Proposes To Stay Implementation Of Farm Laws- Live Updates

Attorney General : They must tell the Committee item by item their grievances. Then the Committee will decide item by item.

Attorney General : When they go before the Committee, will it be their only demand that the laws must be repealed? If they are not prepared to tell their exact grievances, the committee will not be useful.

Attorney General : Staying implementation of law is same as staying. Court cannot do indirectly what it cannot do directly.

CJI : We are conscious of that distinction.

Attorney General : If your lordships stay the law, it will cause tremendous loss to these 2000 farmers.

Attorney General : These laws came into force in June 2020 by way of an Ordinance. After that, more than 2000 farmers entered into contract for selling products in mandis. If the Court stops the implementation, they will lose heavily.

CJI to Phoolka

: I want to take a risk. I want you to tell them that the Chief Justice of India wants them (old people and women) to go back. Try persuade them.

CJI : Mr.Phoolka you persuade them to go back. At some time, we might say in the order that old people and women need not be there in the protests.

CJI : Mr.Phoolka, passions are running high. But you must tell them to go back. There is cold. There is COVID. It is not necessary that they(old people) should be there at protests.

HS Phoolka

: From my village in Punjab, 40 trolleys have come including old people. They refuse to go back. Haryana CM called them naxals, khalistanis etc. The old people said they have sons in Army and they were called anti-nationals!

CJI : The most serious concern occupying the court is the possible loss of life and property. This is the most important component of our view.
