“Let appropriate instructions be taken within a week. Till then let parties maintain status quo at the site to prevent flaring up of the situation at the Shambhu border,” the bench said
The Supreme Court on Wednesday proposed the formation of an independent committee consisting of eminent people to reach out to the protesters in order to find a solution to their demands. This comes after observing that there is a deficit of trust between farmers and the government.
A three-judge bench headed by Justice Surya Kant said that there is a need for a “neutral umpire” who inspires confidence between farmers and the government.
The bench, which also comprises of justices Dipankar Datta and Ujjal Bhuyan said, “You have to take some steps to reach out to farmers. Why would they otherwise want to come to Delhi? You are sending Ministers from here and despite their best intentions there is trust deficit.”
“Let appropriate instructions be taken within a week. Till then let parties maintain status quo at the site to prevent flaring up of the situation at the Shambhu border,” the bench added.
