Until further orders, the apex court had stayed the implementation of the Farmers ( Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act 2020, the Farmer Produce Trade and Commerce ( Promotion and Facilitation) Act and the Amendment to the Essential Commodities Act.
In the wake of concerns raised regarding the opinions by the committee members, National President of Bharatiya Kisan Union Bhupinder Sigh Mann had earlier recused himself from the Committee formed.
