"Farmers are protesting against laws, let them tell their objections to a committee; we may accept its recommendations": SC

Citing the fact that the negotiations between the government and farmers have not yielded any positive outcome, the Supreme Court has suggested that a committee should look into the objections and grievances of the farmers.  It has said that it might accept the recommendations made by a committee in this case. 

While the Supreme Court seemed to be in favour of putting the farm bills on hold temporarily, AG KK Venugopal pointed out that the laws cannot be put on hold until and unless it is found to be in violation of fundamental rights or constitutional schemes,  Mr Venugopal also pointed out the potential loss of revenue it might cause to farmers if the farm laws are repealed.

However, The Court expressed its disappointment over the manner in which the situation was handled and seemed more worried about the potential violence that might accrue if the situation is not remedied. The bench reiterated that it is conscious of the fine line between staying the implementation of the law temporarily and staying the law indefinitely.

"What is the problem in keeping it in abeyance? the matter is getting worse. People are committing suicide. People are suffering in the cold," the CJI remarked. 

Looking at the gravity of the situation, the Supreme Court will pass orders on the implementation of farm laws in parts.
