NEW DELHI, JAN 22
The Supreme Court 3-member bench said that it will not stay Citizenship (Amendment Act) unless the Centre is heard on the matter here on Wednesday.
The three-judge bench was hearing 144 petitions challenging as well as supporting the amended Citizenship act after a jam-packed room delayed the proceedings.
The scores of petition challenging and supporting the revamped CAA are being heard by the Supreme Court bench comprising Chief Justice of India SA Bobde, Justice S. Abdul Nazeer and Justice Sanjiv Khanna.
While most of the petitions challenge the constitutional validity of CAA, some of them seek a declaration that the act is constitutional.
