The Supreme Court dismisses a PIL seeking directions for enforcement of the Farmer Acts

A PIL filed by "Hindu Dharma Parishad" has sought for directions against Centre and States to enforce the three farmer Acts and ban all protests and agitation against the Acts. The Chief Justice of India, S.A Bobde, dismissed the same observing "You cannot ask for a general direction to implement the Act. You have to bring forth specific cases".

The bench has issued notice on two other petitions filed by D K Dhakkad, a Madhya Pradesh based farmer and the Bharatiya Kisan Party, which challenged the constitutionality of the three laws : - Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Prices Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020 ; Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and facilitation) Act, 2020 and Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act 2020.
