The Supreme Court on Friday allowed an applicant to file a representation before the Delhi government authority. Which had earlier challenged the ban imposed on diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years in Delhi-NCR. Applicant Nagalakshmi Lakshmi Narayanan had argued that the ban, which came into effect from April 7, 2015, should not be applied retrospectively.
In April 2015, the National Green Tribunal passed an order under which diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years were banned from plying in the Delhi-NCR region. This ban was mainly imposed to reduce the level of vehicular pollution and promote the adoption of modern vehicles.
