After this, the Supreme Court was approached demanding a stay on the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act, and more than 200 petitions were filed against it.
Supreme Court had agreed to the hearing
Let us inform you that the Supreme Court had recently agreed to consider the demand for a stay on the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Rules, 2024. Last Friday, the Supreme Court fixed March 19 for a hearing in this case.
What is the objection regarding CAA?
In the petition filed by IUML in the Supreme Court, questions have been raised on the notification to implement CAA.
IUML has demanded a stay on the notification.
The petition states that it was not implemented for four and a half years, but notifying it now raises questions about it.
It also says that granting citizenship based on religion in CAA violates the provisions of the Constitution.
What is CAA?
It is noteworthy that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) was implemented in the country four years after it was passed by the Parliament.
