If govt won't, we'll stay farm laws implementation: Supreme Court

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday said that it was "extremely disappointed with the way negotiations were going on between the government and farmers over new farm laws." The CJI said, "If the Centre does not want to stay the implementation of farm laws."

The CJI said, "If the Centre does not want to stay the implementation of farm laws, we will put a stay on it. "You can carry on the protest. But the question is whether the protest should be held at the same site,'' he added.

Stating that there is not a single petition before the apex court that says that these farm laws are beneficial to farmers, it asked the Centre, "What is going on? States are rebelling against your laws". "Some people have committed suicide, old people and women are a part of the agitation. What is happening?" the CJI asked.
