Tractor parade: SC may pass orders on Monday
Description
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the farmers’ protests case on Monday amid reports that one of the four members of its expert committee, set up on January 12 to negotiate between the government and the farmers, has recused himself. The case list on January 18 shows that the court is to pass orders/directions on a plea by the government to injunct protesters from holding tractor/trolley/vehicle marches to “disrupt” the Republic Day celebrations on January 26. There is also a change in the composition of judges on the Bench sitting on Monday. The Bench, though still headed by Chief Justice of India Sharad A. Bobde, will have Justices L. Nageswara Rao and Vineet Saran as puisne judges. The Bench on January 12 had Justices A.S. Bopanna and V. Ramasubramanian accompanying the CJI. It is to be seen whether the court on Monday will take note of the recusal of Bhupinder Singh Mann, national president, Bhartiya Kisan Union and All India Kisan Coordination Committee, from the expert panel.
