Bench identified with farmers while insisting on a speedy, impartial probe

The Supreme Court’s intervention to protect the investigation in Uttar Pradesh following the murder of farmers at Lakhimpur Kheri, in which the son of a Union Minister is an accused, as well as the expressions of support for the farming community from the Bench of the Chief Justice of India created ripples days before the Prime Minister’s televised assurance to repeal the controversial farm laws on Friday.

In its November 17 order, a Bench led by Chief Justice of India NV Ramana emphasized the cold cruelty of the crime by noting that the farmers, protesting the agricultural laws, were “rammed from behind” and “then run over” by the same SUV. The Supreme Court said the “tragic loss of lives” deserved an “impartial, fair, just and thorough investigation”. The court disapproved of the “slow pace, manner and outcome of the investigation conducted so far” by the Uttar Pradesh Police.

November 17 also saw the Supreme Court lash out at “people sitting in Delhi in five-star and seven-star hotels” who blame farmers for the pollution. The court said such people do not understand the plight of farmers or their poverty. In an earlier hearing, Justice Surya Kant identified himself and Chief Justice Ramana as “farmers”. “I am a farmer, the CJI is a farmer… we know,” Justice Kant had told the government.

However, the court had not been so empathetic on October 1. A Bench led by Justice A.M. Khanwilkar had accused farmers of “strangulating the city”. On that day, the court was hearing a petition filed by farmers’ bodies for permission to hold a satyagraha at the iconic Jantar Mantar in the heart of the Capital.
