The Supreme Court-appointed three-member committee of agricultural economists has submitted its report to the top court on the three contentious farm laws in a sealed cover.
The committee comprises four members: Bhupinder Singh Mann, National President, Bharatiya Kisan Union and All India Kisan Coordination Committee; Dr. Parmod Kumar Joshi, Agricultural Economist, Director for South Asia, International Food Policy Research Institute; Ashok Gulati, Agricultural Economist and Former Chairman of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices; and Anil Ghanwat, President, Shetkari Sanghatana. Mann resigned later.
The committee had also sought views, and suggestions of the general public through a public notice, which was published in major newspapers.
Speaking to a news agency, Anil Ghanvat confirmed that the committee has submitted the report, but declined to divulge any details on the content.
He added the contents will not be public till Chief Justice S.A. Bobde takes it up for hearing and discussion.
The hearing in the matter is expected after April 5 when the court reopens after Holi vacation.
