The Supreme Court has reportedly wrapped up the hearing on the case for now. The key takeaways were:
- The Supreme Court has refused to grant an interim stay on CAA or NRC or NPR and the government is free to implement those laws
- SC will consider hearing pleas related to Assam and Tripura separately, after Centre files its reply after the given window of two weeks
- The Centre will have to file replies on all other CAA-related pleas (except those about Assam and Tripura) within four weeks
- The SC has not referred the matter to a Constitution Bench as of now. However, it showed strong inclination to do that. It said a five-judge Constitution Bench will be set up to hear the matter.
- The Supreme Court has also asked the High Courts not to entertain any pleas on CAA until the apex court finish deciding this matter.
