A bench of Justices L Nageswara Rao, AS Bopanna and BR Gavai said that the public interest litigation filed by advocate Anurag Saxena was frivolous and also ordered the registry to not register any writ petitions filed by the advocate before the Supreme Court.
“Two advocates who are practicing in the Supreme Court have entered into this misadventure. We warned them about this. An exemplary cost of ₹8 lacs is imposed on the petitioner. The registry will not entertain any writ petition by the advocate,” the Court ordered.
The PIL contended that the cap of 10 years and 15 years on vehicles in Delhi is discriminatory and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution.
“Banning already existing vehicles will create more carbon footprints as manufacturing new cars and vehicles create more carbon footprints. That’s why the 10 years and 15 years Rule is void. Why there is arbitrariness only for certain places? Why not everywhere?“, the petitioner who appeared in-person submitted.
