The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to interfere with the ongoing agitation against farm laws by farmers from Punjab and some other states who have blocked certain entry points to the national capital for weeks, saying it was their fundamental right.
“We are of the view at this stage that the farmers’ protest should be allowed to continue without impediment and without any breach of peace either by the protesters or the police,” a Bench headed by Chief Justice of India SA Bobde said during hearing on petitions seeking removal of agitating farmers from Delhi roads.

Against this backdrop, it ordered eight farmer unions be made party to the PIL (public interest litigation) seeking removal of farmers from various Delhi borders, and a joint hearing of the Centre and the farmers unions on Thursday in a bid to end the impasse.
A bench, headed by Chief Justice SA Bobde and comprising Justices AS Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian, proposed forming a committee, including the representatives of the Centre, farmer unions and other relevant stakeholders, to arrive at some acceptable solution.
