The Supreme Court on Thursday during hearing of pleas seeking removal of farmers blocking various Delhi border queried the Attorney General K.K. Venugopal, could the Centre put on hold the implementation of the recently enacted farm laws till the matter is heard by the court? The top court also emphasised until a solution found to end the ongoing impasse, the police should not incite the protesters to indulge in violence.

A bench headed by Chief Justice S.A. Bobde queried the AG, "could you assure the court that you will not implement the law till we hear it." However, the top court clarified that it is not of the opinion to stay the legislation, instead it is exploring possibilities to enable Centre and farmer union to engage in fruitful negotiations. The bench, citing it cannot pass orders without hearing the protesting farmers unions, asked the AG, would there be an assurance in the meantime that there will no executive action?
