In the hearing on Tuesday, the Supreme Court has stayed the implementation of Agrarian laws while paving way for the constitution of a 4-member committee to resolve the matter.
"We are forming a committee so that we have a clearer picture. We don't want to hear arguments that farmers will not go to the committee. We are looking to solve the problem. If you (farmers) want to agitate indefinitely, you can do so," CJI said while hearing the matter.
Advocate ML Sharma, who filed a plea challenging the farm laws, told the court that farmers do not wish to appear before any committee to be constituted by the court.
"This committee will be for us. All of you people who are expected to solve the issue will go before this committee. It will not pass an order or punish you, it will only submit a report to us," he added.
The top court had expressed worry over the validity of the farm laws while also expressing concern about protecting the life and property of citizens affected by protests.
"We are trying to solve the problem in accordance with the powers we have. One of the powers we've is to suspend the legislation and make a committee," the CJI said.
Bhartiya Kisan Sangh claiming to have 30,000 members supports the decision of forming a committee while continuing to demand the recently passed legislation to be repealed.
Meanwhile, regarding the proposed tractor rally by farmers, the Supreme Court issued a notice on the Delhi Police's application seeking to stop the rally planned to be held on Republic Day.
Supreme Court was hearing several petitions challenging the three farm laws passed by the Parliament and removal of protesting farmers from Delhi's borders.
