Bench issues order as air quality improves in national capital
Noting that the air quality in Delhi had “started improving”, the Supreme Court on Friday asked the Centre’s Air Quality Commission to take a decision on relaxing restrictions imposed by the court on sources of pollution — including industries, constructions and factories — in the capital.
A Special Bench led by Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana asked the panel to look into the issue within a week.
The court left it to the panel to consider requests made by industry-owners and others affected parties for a peronal hearing and take their inputs. This factum was mentioned in the court order after various commercial and construction enterprises who had projects under way and were affected by the restrictions, urged the court to allow them to make representations before the commission.
