SC issues notice to Center

News Desk: The Supreme Court on Monday issued notice to the center on pleas challenging the farm bills. The petitioners said “The farm laws are against the constitutional provisions. Agriculture and agricultural trade come exclusively with the State subject and not under Centre”

They added “The farm laws are against the fundamental rights guaranteed under the constitution of the country”

The apex court bench headed by Chief Justice SA Bobde asked Attorney General KK Venugopal to file a response to the petitions within a period of six weeks.

Advocate K Parameshwar, the lawyer for Kisan Congress said “The central law has in effect repealed the state law of Chhattisgarh on the mandi system. Approaching the High court would result in conflicting judgments on this issue across the country since these laws are being challenged in various states”
