Delhi HC Exempts Advocates’ Vehicles; Supreme Court Seeks Vehicular Pollution Action Plan

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has directed Delhi and neighboring states—Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Rajasthan—to submit detailed action plans within two weeks addressing rising vehicular emissions in the National Capital Region. The court emphasized enforcement of emission standards, Pollution Under Control certificates, and measures to curb over-age and non-compliant vehicles amid improving stubble-burning conditions.
