New Delhi: For the second time in two days, the Supreme Court sought to defend the expert committee it had set up to resolve the stalemate between farmers and the Centre over the new farm laws.
On Tuesday, while hearing a case unrelated to farmersâ protests, Chief Justice of India S.A. Bobde had observed that âjust because a person has expressed a viewâ on a matter does not mean that this disqualifies them from inclusion in a committee.
