CAA SC seeks Centre's response to petitions challenging CAA
New Delhi/UNI: The Supreme Court on Monday sought detailed responses from the central government in a bunch of pleas challenging the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
"The Union of India (UOI) shall file appropriate responses with respect to segments of challenges. Let the needful be done in 4 weeks from today," the two-judge bench of the apex court, headed by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) Uday Umesh Lalit, said.
The bench, also comprising Justice S Ravindra Bhat, said that so far as the state of Assam and Tripura is concerned, they shall file their compilation and complete pleadings within four weeks.
Their pleadings shall also be taken into consideration for the compilation and fixed the matter for further hearing to Oct 31.
The Supreme Court said that once the issues are identified and petitions are segregated, it will decide whether the matter will be referred to a three-judge bench or not.
The Supreme Court is hearing around 200 petitions challenging the CAA.
