Delhi government challenges the blanket ban on 10-year-old diesel and 15-year-old petrol vehicles. Supreme Court may consider shifting to emission-based criteria.
The Supreme Court criticized the National Green Tribunal for imposing a Rs. 25 crore penalty on Benzo Chem Industrial Private Limited based on revenue without evidence of environmental violations. Justices emphasized that penalty determination must align with legal principles, stressing revenue should not influence penalties and highlighting violations of natural justice in the NGT’s decision.
