<h1>Petition seeks limits on cheap yellow pea imports to protect domestic pulse growers, government ordered to respond</h1> The Supreme Court issued notice to the Union government on a public interest litigation filed by a farmers' body seeking curbs on imports of yellow peas, alleged substitutes for pulses, on grounds that cheap imports undermine domestic pulse growers' livelihoods. The bench directed the Centre to respond and asked petitioners to verify domestic pulse production levels, while warning that import restrictions must not create consumer shortages. Petitioners contend imported yellow peas priced far below the minimum support price for pulses harm farmers and cite government expert reports and alleged health and farmer-distress impacts; the court queried those health and supply concerns.
