In a setback to anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protesters, the Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to stay the operation of the CAA and the National Population Register (NPR).

A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice SA Bobde--on a transfer petition by the Central government--restrained all high courts from passing any orders on CAA.

The CJI indicated that ultimately a five-judge Bench might have to decide the petitions on CAA.
