Supreme Court Allows Car Owner To File Representation Against Ban On 10-Year-Old Diesel & 15-Yr-Old Petrol Vehicles In Delhi-NCR

The Supreme Court allowed a car owner to file a representation against the Delhi government’s ban on 10-year-old diesel and 15-year-old petrol vehicles. The applicant challenged the guidelines issued in February 2024, arguing that the ban should apply prospectively and not retroactively. The court noted that the guidelines were based on the National Green Tribunal’s order, which the Supreme Court had upheld. The applicant was granted liberty to file a representation before the Delhi government authority, and if an adverse order is passed, the applicant can challenge it in accordance with the law. This decision highlights the procedural steps for challenging government policies.
