Delhi HC Exempts Advocates' Vehicles; Supreme Court Seeks NCR Vehicular Pollution Plan
The Delhi High Court exempted advocates and court staff from a three-month restriction on non-Delhi-registered pre-BS-VI vehicles, citing their essential role in court functioning. The exemption applies from November 1, 2026, to January 31, 2027, for vehicles with valid Bar Association stickers and identity cards. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has directed Delhi and neighboring states to submit detailed action plans within two weeks to address vehicular pollution in the NCR, including enforcement of emission standards and restrictions under the Graded Response Action Plan.
