SC makes colour coded stickers must to get vehicle documents

Hindustan Times  

The Supreme Court on Monday made colour-coded stickers mandatory for issuance of various documents such as pollution under control certificates, transfer of vehicle ownership, and duplicate registration, among others, for vehicles plying in Delhi and National Capital Region as part of its mammoth push to rid Delhi of pollution. Passing a slew of orders on a public interest litigation filed by lawyer and activist MC Mehta, seeking steps to curb pollution in Delhi, a bench headed by justice Abhay S Oka noted that though this rule was enforced in Delhi-NCR from April 1, 2019, hardly 30% vehicles registered prior to that date had the colour coded stickers. In addition, the court held, “The NCR states shall issue directions that no PUC certificate be issued under compliance is made with our order.” Posting the matter for further hearing on March 24, the bench further directed the Centre and NCR states to consider taking a policy decision on having the bulk of vehicles used by government, public authorities, etc electric operated, to further minimise the pollution load. The Delhi government represented by advocate Jyoti Mendiratta filed a short response informing the court that hologram-based stickers shall be affixed on all existing vehicles at the earliest as the transport department has authorised all motor vehicle dealers to affix the sticker and public Pollution by thermal plants The court also examined the issue of pollution caused by coal-based power plants, estimated to contribute 8% of city’s pollution load.
