Supreme Court to Hear Plea on BS VI Vehicle Life in NCR
Imagine the Supreme Court as the highest judge.
Someone is asking them to decide how long cars can be used in Delhi before they're too old and pollute too much.
Right now, the rules say how long cars can be used.
The lawyers want the court to keep these rules the same.
The lawyers say the government can't make different rules than what the Supreme Court already said about pollution.
The Supreme Court will listen to the arguments on July 28th to make sure the air in Delhi stays clean.
The Supreme Court will hear a plea on July 28 regarding the end-of-life period for BS VI vehicles in the National Capital Region.
The plea questions whether BS VI-compliant vehicles should have a 15-year end-of-life for petrol variants and 10 years for diesel.
A bench consisting of Chief Justice of India B R Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran will hear the plea.
The counsel argues the government cannot override the court's prior directives on pollution control.
The counsel stated that the government cannot alter the limits set by the Supreme Court for vehicular emissions.
