NEW DELHI — The Centre on Wednesday withdrew its plea, seeking an injunction against the proposed tractor rally on January 26 by farmers protesting against the new farm laws after the Supreme Court said “it is a police matter”.

“We have told you that we will not issue any direction. It is a police matter. We will allow you to withdraw. You are the authority and you have to deal with it. You have the powers to pass orders, you do it. It is not for the court to pass orders..,” the bench said in the hearing conducted via video conferencing.
