Top Court Bars Action Against Owners Of End-Of-Life Vehicles In Delhi-NCR
In a major relief for car owners in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR), the Supreme Court has said no coercive action will be taken against those who own diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years.
The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), which is a central anti-pollution panel for Delhi and neighbouring states, had ordered in July that fuel supply be stopped to vehicles that fall under the "end-of-life" category. Vehicles older than the number of years mentioned in the order were also supposed to be scrapped in keeping with a Supreme Court order from 2018.
