The court may also consider submissions made for a reference of the petitions to a Constitution Bench.

The government has already notified the implementation of the law on January 10. In the previous hearing on December 18, the Supreme Court had refused to stay its implementation. The Act has triggered protests by ordinary citizens, including students, professionals, mothers, across the country.

Police action on the protesters had drawn heavy criticism.

The Chief Justice, in the last hearing, had highlighted to Attorney General K.K. Venugopal the need for the government to publicise the objectives of the Act.

The government has maintained that the amendments made to the Citizenship Act of 1955 were meant to protect and welcome religiously persecuted people fleeing the three neighbouring countries where Muslims form the majority.

The top court had on December 18 issued a formal notice admitting the petitions filed by people from all walks of life and faiths: parliamentarians, retired High Commissioners, service officers, lawyers, students, activists, professional associations, Opposition political parties and NGOs.

While Muslim migrants would have to show their proof of residency in India for at least 11 years, the law allows illegal migrants from the six communities to be naturalized in five years’ time.
