Today, the Supreme Court refused to consider a plea contesting the vehicle scrappage policy in the Delhi-NCR region. The policy, established by the National Green Tribunal (NGT), restricts the use of diesel vehicles older than ten years and petrol vehicles older than fifteen years

A division bench of Justices Abhay S. Oka and Augustine George Masih mentioned that the NGT’s guidelines cannot be contested through an interim application in an ongoing Supreme Court case.

The Court further highlighted that it had previously upheld the NGT’s directives on these restrictions, leaving no room for modification within an interlocutory proceeding.
