A Supreme Court vacation bench comprising Justice UU Lalit and Justice Aniruddha Bose said that the matter involves "issues which need further consideration by a bench of sufficient strength" and referred it to a larger bench for consideration next week.
Yogi Adityanath led Uttar Pradesh government has vowed to move the Supreme Court against the Allahabad High Court order in its bid to continue "profiling" the rioters.
The bench headed by CJ stated that there is no law that allows the state to place banners displaying names and personal data of the accused from whom compensation is being charged.
The posters have been put up on the streets of Lucknow following the orders passed by CM Yogi Adityanath. The rioters, who were accused of damaging government property during the anti-CAA protests, have been given notices of recovery for damaging properties.
Yogi Adityanath warned rioters in Uttar Pradesh against engaging in violence and taking law into their own hands in the name of protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act.
