Supreme Court Seeks Centre's Position on Legal Guarantee for MSP
The Supreme Court of India has asked the Centre for its stance on the proposal for a legal guarantee of Minimum Support Price (MSP) for farmers. This proposal was made after the Prime Minister announced the withdrawal of controversial farm laws in November 2021, which had led to prolonged protests by farmers, particularly from Punjab. A petitioner, representing a farmer on a hunger strike, urged the court to direct the Centre to engage in discussions regarding the MSP guarantee. The court noted it cannot enforce a proposal meant for discussion, while the Solicitor General stated the Centre's concern for farmers nationwide.

Supreme Court Tags Bhojshala Dispute with Places of Worship Act Petitions
The Supreme Court of India has ordered that the dispute over the Bhojshala temple-Kamal Maula mosque complex in Madhya Pradesh be combined with ongoing petitions challenging the Places of Worship Act. The court previously allowed the Archaeological Survey of India to conduct a survey of the site but prohibited any actions based on the report without its permission. The case involves a historical conflict between Hindus, who regard the site as a temple, and Muslims, who consider it a mosque. The court is addressing potential contempt for violations of its prior orders.
