The Supreme Court on Tuesday said no action should be taken for now against owners of 10-year-old diesel vehicles and 15-year-old petrol vehicles in Delhi. The order came while hearing the Delhi government’s plea challenging the ban, which it argued should be based on pollution levels and mileage, not age. Chief Justice BR Gavai said the matter will be heard again in four weeks. Delhi’s environment minister called the decision a “big relief” for residents. The old vehicle ban dates back to 2015, when the National Green Tribunal issued restrictions to reduce pollution, and was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2018. (PC: AFP)
