Supreme Court<\/strong>: Refusing urgent hearing on a plea seeking to declare the Citizenship Amendment Act as constitutional, CJI S A Bobde observed that the country is going through difficult times and there is so much violence going. <\/em><\/span>Expressing surprise over the petition, the bench said that this was the first time that someone was seeking that an Act be declared as constitutional.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There is so much of violence going on. The country is going through difficult times and the endeavour should be for peace. This court’s job is to determine validity of a law and not declare it as constitutional,”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The bench also comprising justices B R Gavai and Surya Kant said it will hear the petitions challenging validity of CAA when the violence stops.<\/span><\/p>\n

The observation came after advocate Vineet Dhanda sought urgent listing of his plea to declare CAA as constitutional and a direction to all states for implementation of the Act. The plea has also sought action against activists, students and media houses for “spreading rumours”.<\/p>\n

On December 18, the Supreme Court had agreed to examine the constitutional validity of the CAA, but refused to stay its operation<\/a>. It said that it will hear the batch of 59 petitions on January 22, 2020.<\/p>\n

The newly amended law seeks to grant citizenship to non-Muslim migrants belonging to Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Christian, Jain and Parsi communities who came to the country from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan on or before December 31, 2014.<\/p>\n

Several petitions have been filed challenging the constitutional validity of the Act including by RJD leader Manoj Jha, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra and AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi.<\/p>\n

Several other petitioners include Muslim body Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, All Assam Students Union (AASU), Peace Party, CPI, NGOs ‘Rihai Manch’ and Citizens Against Hate, advocate M L Sharma, and law students have also approached the apex court challenging the Act.<\/p>\n
