Apex court was hearing an appeal by Haryana govt against High Court order to remove barricades at Shambhu border

The apex court constituted the committee while hearing an appeal by the Haryana government against the order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court directing to remove barricades at the Shambhu border.

Who are the members of the committee?

Besides chairman Justice Nawab Singh, the other members of the committee are – Retired Indian Police Service (IPS) officer BS Sandhu, professor Ranjit Singh Ghuman, Dr Sukhpal Singh, agricultural economist from the Punjab Agriculture University and Mohali resident Devinder Sharma,

“We hope and trust that one of the major demands of the agitating farmers regarding constitution of a neutral high-powered committee having been accepted with the consent of both the States, they will immediately respond to the request of the high-powered committee and will vacate the Shambu border or the other roads connecting the two States without any delay,” the top court bench said.

The bench further said, “This gesture will provide huge relief to the general public who are facing extreme hardships due to the blockade of the highways and will also facilitate the high-powered committee and both the States (Punjab and Haryana) to consider the farmers’ genuine and just demands in a dispassionate and objective manner.”

The bench also said that the issues that the farmers are facing should not be politicised and be considered by the five-member committee, which has been directed to convene its first meeting within a week, in a phased manner.
