CAA banned Your Honor for three months ...

New Delhi, 22 Jan 2020, Wednesday

Veteran Congress leader and lawmaker Kapil Sibal urged the court to impose a ban on CAA for three months.

A total of 144 (one hundred and fourteen) applications challenging this law had come to the Supreme Court. 131 of these applications were against the law.

Siebel also requested that the registration of the National Citizens Register be stopped. Once a person becomes a citizen, his citizenship cannot be taken away by the government.

Before the trial began, the Attorney General requested that the crowd be dispersed, as the court number one was overcrowded, causing security problems. The crowd had grown so much that three doors to Court Number One had to be opened. There was also a huge crowd outside the court. Everyone had to go inside the court. But the space did not remain.

Initially there were 60 petitions against the law in December. When the hearing came out today, the applications were almost two and a half times. However, no action has been taken by the central government. Government spokesman says that nothing can be said about this without studying what is really said in every application against the law.

The Supreme Court told Sibal that the court cannot take a unilateral decision in this way. A bench comprising Chief Justice SA Bobde, Abdul Nazir and Sanjeev Khanna was hearing the petition.
