Punjab and haryana high court

The court's bench, comprising Justices Manjari Nehru Kaul and Manisha Batra, made it clear that the directive should be implemented immediately, without any delay. However, the administration is expected to exercise utmost restraint and resort to the use of force to disperse the gathered mob only as a last resort. Interestingly, the High Court's directive coincided with a large gathering of farmers protesting on National Highway-44 near Kurukshetra, specifically against the Haryana government's failure to purchase their sunflower seeds at the minimum support price (MSP). The police resorted to baton charges and used water cannons to disperse the protesters and clear the blockade.
