Supreme Court Restores and Keeps For Admission ML Sharma's Plea Challenging The Three Farm Laws
Live LawThe Supreme Court on Thursday restored for admission the petition filed by Advocate Manohar Lal Sharma which challenges the three farm laws that have been enacted by the Parliament recently and have attracted intense opposition from several farmers' groups across the country. In today's hearing, a Bench headed by Chief Justice of India SA Bobde informed Sharma that there was no cause of action in the present case and that he had previously withdrawn his plea. In the Kusum Ingots case, the Supreme Court held that mere passing of a legislation does not furnish a cause of action", the CJI told Sharma, who was appearing as a party-in-person. The first mentioned Act seeks to enable the farmers to sell the farm products in places outside the market yards regulated by the Agriculture Produce Marketing Committees established by various state laws.
