The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 12 Jan 2021The noblest intentions, no doubt, motivate the Supreme Court’s decision to take the initiative to resolve the farmers’ agitation, probably setting up a committee to consider the laws and the objections to them, while asking the government to put the laws on hold, pending the committee’s finding.
However, the court errs, when it arrogates to itself the role of arbiter of politics and policy. Its job is to settle matters of law. So, if the court were to consider the constitutional propriety of the Centre legislating on agriculture, an item in the State List, or of taking disputes under the farm laws outside the ambit of the courts, that would be entirely kosher.
