New Delhi: The three judge bench of Supreme Court headed by chief justices S A Bobde imposed stay on three controversial farm laws at the core of the massive farmers protests near Delhi. The chief justice SA Bobde said we are staying three farm laws until further orders.

Supreme Court also said a four member committee of agricultural experts would be formed to take over negotiations with farmers to end the crisis, saying “It is a victory for fair play”.

The SC said “No power can prevent us from making committee to resolve the impasse on new farm laws.” “We want to solve the problem and that’s why we are making the committee. Give the names to us, we will decide.” “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. The committee is part of the judicial process in this case.”

“These are matters of life and death. We are concerned with laws. We are concerned with lives and property of people affected by the agitation. We are trying to solve the problem in the best way. One of the powers we have is to suspend the legislation.” “We cannot ask the prime minister anything, he is not a party before us. This is not politics. There is a difference between politics and judiciary and you will have to cooperate,” the SC said.
