On January 12, 2021, the Supreme Court of India [‘the court’] passed an interim order in the case pertaining to the legal and constitutional validity of the three farm legislations¹ . The said order2 stayed the implementation of the three farm laws until further orders and constituted a committee of four agriculturalists so as to listen to the grievances of the parties concerned and make recommendations accordingly. As a consequence of staying the implementation of the three farm laws, the court also ordered the maintenance of the existing Minimum Support Price (MSP) system and protection of the land holdings of the farmers.
