How does a government put a legislation on 'hold'? Is there any constitutional mechanism for the executive to 'pause' a validly passed legislation? Genuine Koshan.

So a committee of 'wise men/women' selected by the SC will stand in judgement over the law passed by parliament?

Here is the thing - a law can be stayed based on usual methods, it can be held unconstitutional based on violation of the Constitution. There is no shortcut to this based on the say so of even a large number of people, merely because they are loud. https://t.co/QEDrG0wVjr
Tomorrow can all the income tax payers also gather up at whichever maidan and ask for repealing the income tax law? It hurts us and we can protest quite loudly.
How can a law be stayed or over-turned based on the nuisance value of the protestors? It is anarchy to allow that.
By all means, the courts of records should and must review the constitutional validity of whether the Parliament exceeded its mandate and passed a law they could not have or if the law is perverse enough under constitutional law.
In fact that is the problem for the agitating farmers - they cannot even state on affidavit that the new laws will 'take away their lands' - leave alone win on that ground.
