The association had challenged Maharashtra Government’s Bio-diesel (manufacturing, storage, supply, selling) policy
The Bombay High Court recently refused to grant any relief to the All India Bio-diesel Association, aggrieved by the decision of the Maharashtra Government to frame a biodiesel policy.
A division bench of justices G. S. Patel and Madhav Jamdar was hearing a petition filed by the Association in January this year.

The policy, ‘Bio-diesel (manufacturing, storage, supply, selling)’ bans direct sale of bio diesel to vehicles and mandates registration of all biodiesel entities.
