The Supreme Court (SC) today said that it will hear a batch of petitions challenging the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), 2019, on December 6.
The apex court also granted two weeks to Assam and Tripura to file their responses. The issue is presently before a bench led by Chief Justice of India Uday Umesh Lalit and justices S Ravindra Bhat and Bela M Trivedi. It also appointed two lawyers as nodal counsel in the batch of cases challenging the validity of the Act. The SC is set to hear around 232 PILs challenging the constitutional validity of CAA.
CAA was passed by Parliament on December 11, 2019 and it was met with protests all across the country. The Act came into effect on January 10, 2020. A Kerala-based political party Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, Congress leader and former union minister Jairam Ramesh, All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader Asaduddin Owaisi, Congress leader Debabrata Saikia, NGOs Rihai Manch and Citizens Against Hate, Assam Advocates Association, and law students among others had filed a plea before the top court challenging the Act.
