Supreme Court of India pauses auction of land of deceased Dalit farmer due to unpaid loan.

The Supreme Court of India has paused the auction of land belonging to a deceased Dalit farmer, Sukhram, in Uttar Pradesh, due to an unpaid loan of Rs 7,397. Sukhram's son argued against the auction, stating legal actions shouldn't target the deceased. The Supreme Court issued an interim order to maintain the status quo, citing concerns over fairness in the previous High Court ruling, which dismissed objections without a proper hearing.
