A bench headed by Chief Justice U U Lalit will hear the petitions challenging the validity of the CAA. According to the list of businesses uploaded on the apex court's website, Chief Justice and Justice S Ravindra Bhat has posted 220 petitions for hearing, including the main petition of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) against the CAA.
