The pleas will be heard by a bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi.

The bench will hear Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Sitaram Yechury's habeas corpus petition, in which, he has challenged the detention of Kashmir politician and party general secretary Mohammed Yousuf Tarigami.

Another plea is of Tehseen Poonawalla, a social activist, who has raised the issue of lockdown in the region as amounting to suspension of Article 19 (freedom of speech) and 21 (personal liberty) of the Constitution.
