Chief Justice of India SA Bobde led bench to shortly hear a batch of pleas challenging the validity of #FarmActs
#SupremeCourt appointed committee to resolve the stalemate between #FarmerUnions and Centre could not progress with @BSMANN_BKU recusing
#FarmersProtests

SC will also hear applications seeking reconstitution of the 4 member committee questioning the impartial stand of the members

#SupremeCourt bench too has been changed. Instead of Justices AS Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian, Justices L Nageswara Rao & Vineet Saran to sit with CJI

Supreme Court says this matter will be taken up when the bench sits with Justices AS Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian

CJI: We said this last time that entry to Delhi has to be seen under Delhi police.

CJI: (Tells Attorney General KK Venugopal): Invoke all your powers to see whether farmers can be allowed in the city. But who can be allowed or not are matters of law and order will be dealt by police. We cannot be the first authority here

CJI: does Union of India need Supreme Court to tell what powers it has under the police act ?

AG: this is an extraordinary situation

CJI: but why do you want us to tell what powers you have

#SupremeCourt: intervention of the court had been strongly misunderstood. Who will come in the city and who will be allowed will not be seen by us.

Supreme Court adjourn matter to Wednesday.

Solicitor-General says there are issues to address.
