A Bench of Chief Justice of India NV Ramana and Justice Surya Kant and Justice Hima Kholi will hear the matter.

Eight people were killed on Sunday during a farmers’ protest; four of the dead were part of a convoy of BJP workers who were allegedly thrashed to death, while the other four were farmers.
