New Delhi: A Supreme Court bench on Thursday called the air contamination in Delhi a “very, very serious” scenario and advised attorneys to appear through video conference rather of appearing face to face.
“Situation is very, very serious! Why are you all appearing here? We have a virtual hearing facility. Please avail it. This pollution will cause permanent damage,” a bench of justices PS Narasimha and Atul Chandrukar verbally stated.
Senior supporter Kapil Sibal, who existed in the court, stated attorneys were utilizing masks. Promoting the bench, justice Narasimha verbally said, “Even masks are not enough. It will not suffice.” The judge stated the bench will go over the matter with Chief Justice of India BR Gavai.
Another Supreme Court bench had on Wednesday checked the action taken by Punjab and Haryana to manage the threat of stubble burning in the wake of degrading air quality in Delhi.
A bench of CJI Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran had actually looked for an action taken report after it was notified that phase III of Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) has actually been executed in Delhi due to the high level of air contamination. “Let Punjab and Haryana governments respond on steps taken to control stubble burning,” the bench stated as it bought listing of the case on November 17.
At the last hearing, the court had actually required a status report from the Commission for Air Quality Management on the degrading air quality in Delhi.
