New Delhi, Dec 8 (TIWN) The Centre on Tuesday sought time from the Supreme Court on a plea by a woman residing in Noida against the road blockade by farmers at the Delhi-UP border protesting against the three (now repealed) contentious farm laws.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta submitted before a bench headed by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and comprising Justice M.M. Sundresh that the matter should be adjourned in view of the changed circumstances -- against the backdrop of Centre repealing the three farm laws.

Advocate Prashant Bhushan, representing some farmers, also urged the top court to defer the hearing in the matter.
