The Supreme Court again refused to hear the plea for an urgent hearing on the plea for any relaxation in the ban on crackers and fireworks on Diwali.

The court said that when the High Court is hearing, they will not interfere in it now. 

The ban order issued on the basis of the recommendation of the Delhi Pollution Control Committee was challenged in the Delhi High Court.

In the Supreme Court, two traders filed an application and pleaded that green fireworks and firecrackers i.e. green crackers have not been exempted in the ban order. 

Both these petitioners, who store and sell green crackers in Delhi, have argued that there is no reason and logic to bring green crackers under the purview of this ban.

Mentioning before the CJI bench, the petitioners said that the High Court did not hear the matter saying that a petition to the same effect is pending in the Supreme Court.

So how can he listen?

In such a situation, the Delhi High Court has fixed the hearing on October 18, while Diwali is on October 24. 

When the CJI asked to take it before the High Court itself, the petitioner played the last gamble that the application of similar prayer of BJP MP Manoj Tiwari is pending before a bench of Justice MR Shah.

CJI should also associate this petition with him.

The petitioner also argued that the restrictions introduced in the wake of Kovid in 2020 are no longer there.

Significantly, the bench of Justice Shah had also refused to interfere in the ban order on the petition of BJP MP Manoj Tiwari.

The court had said that the situation of pollution is known to all.
