Staying the implementation of contentious farm laws and forming a committee to resolve the deadlock between farmers' unions and government, the Supreme Court asserted it was 'extremely disappointed' as to how the whole issue was being handled by the government.
After the committee was formed, the farmers were not satisfied with the members of the committee. Later on Bhupinder Singh Mann opted out of the committee leaving behind cracks.
Chief Justice of India, SA Bobde responded to the criticism of the committee, he called it a "peculiar lack of comprehension" on the constitution of such panels.
"There is a misunderstanding we are noticing. If you appoint a committee and if they had taken a view it does not mean they should not be in the committee," Chief Justice of India added.
"It is okay you have taken a view and you are entitled to change your view. How is this a disqualification? Just because a person has expressed a view on the matter, that is not a disqualification to be a member of committee. Generally, there is a peculiar lack of comprehension about constitution of a committee. They are not judges," CJI said on why views expressed in the past disqualified any member.
