SHILLONG, March 19: The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the Centre to respond within three weeks to applications seeking a stay on implementation of the Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, 2024 till the apex court disposes of the pleas challenging the constitutional validity of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019.
The apex court, however, refused to stay the operation of the Rules that would give effect to the CAA, as sought by a battery of senior advocates representing the petitioners.
The Centre, on its part, told the bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud that the CAA does not take away the citizenship of any person.
The bench, also comprising Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, issued notice to the Centre on the 20 applications, including one filed by North East Students’ Organisation (NESO), seeking a stay on the implementation of the Rules returnable within three weeks.
