Supreme Court dismisses plea to look into locust invasion of farm crops, asks Centre to consider

The Supreme Court has today dismissed a plea filed by Dr Sanjay Nilkanthrao Lakhe Patil seeking directions to constitute a committee to look into the locusts’ invasion of farm crops while asking the government to treat his plea as a representation. 

A three-judge bench led by Chief Justice N.V. Ramana, and Justices AS Bopanna & Hrishikesh Roy heard the matter through video conferencing. The Court has recorded in its order, “The grievance is that the Union of India has to form a committee to study to prevent the locust’s invasion in India. However, a PIL has been directly filed without making representation to the government. The government can consider the representation. Plea dismissed.”
