The Supreme Court proposed the government to consider putting a hold on the implementation of the Three Farm laws, to make sure the dispute between the Central Government and the protestors is settled and free from the deadlock.

A Bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI), SA Bobde and Justice AS Bopanna, and Justice V Ramasubramanian also expressed disappointment at the manner in which the Centre has handled the issue observing that the central government has failed to solve the problem.

“We propose to form a committee and if the government does not (stay the law), then we will stay the implementation of the Farm Acts. We are extremely disappointed with the way Centre is dealing with this. We are doing this because you have failed to solve the problem..Union of India has to take the responsibility. The laws has resulted in a strike and now you have to solve the strike,” the Court said.

The CJI asked the Attorney General: “You tell us if you will put on hold the implementation of the laws. Otherwise we will do it. What is the problem in keeping it in abeyance?”

He expressed that he was extremely disappointed at the way government is handling the matter.

The Court also said that it will do its job as the apex court of the country.

“We are the Supreme Court of India and we will do our job,” CJI Bobde remarked

The Bench has observed that the current negotiations between the Central government and farmers aren’t yielding any fruit so the matter needs to be resolved by a committee.
