New Delhi [India], August 4 (ANI): The Supreme Court on Wednesday sought response from the Centre and State governments on a plea seeking appropriate directions to pay the pending dues to the sugarcane producers.
A Bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) NV Ramana issued notices to many sugarcane growing State governments and Centre and posted the matter for hearing after three weeks.
The petition was filed by a former Member of Parliament from the Hatkanangle constituency in Lok Sabha Raju Anna Sheti and four agriculturists from Maharashtra.
