UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following
O R D E R

1. Notwithstanding the direction contained in

paragraph 14 of this Court's order dated 23rd October,

2024, the Union of India has not taken any decision on

the proposal submitted by the State of Punjab. We extend

the time to take a decision by a period of one week from

today. Compliance shall be reported on 11th November,

2024.

2. Assurance has been given in paragraph 1 of the

status report submitted by the Union of India that draft

Rules mentioned in clauses 2(a) and 2(b) thereof will be

gazetted during the course of this week. In view of this

assurance, we direct that further compliance to be filed

on or before 11th November, 2024.

3. Our attention is invited to the communication dated

29th December, 2023 passed by the Ministry of Road

Transport and Highways (MVL Section) of Government of

India which is addressed to the Principal Secretaries/the

Secretaries, Department of Transport and the Transport

Commissioners of all the States/Union Territories. The

communication itself indicates that all the States and

the Union Territories were supposed to report compliance

with the order dated 13th December, 2023 regarding

enforcement of norms prescribed in respect of "Colour

Coded Stickers".

14
4. We direct all National Capital Region States to

report compliance with the order dated 13th December, 2203

by filing the affidavits within a period of one month

from today.

5. We direct the Ministry of Road Transport and

Highways (MVL Section) to forthwith call a meeting of the

Secretaries of the Department of Transport and the

Transport Commissioners of the remaining States and the

Union Territories for the purposes of ascertaining the

steps taken to implement the order dated 13th December,

2023. We direct the Union of India to file an affidavit

reporting compliance before the end of this year.

Needless to add that it is the responsibility of the

Union of India and all the States and the Union

Territories to ensure strict compliance with the

directions issued by this Court on 13th December, 2023 for

making compliance with the provisions of the Motor

Vehicle (High Security Registration Plate) Order, 2018 as

amended. Compliance on this aspect shall be considered

on 3rd January, 2025.

6. The learned Amicus Curiae has placed on record a

report submitted by the Centre for Science and

Environment (CSE), New Delhi. We request the learned

Amicus Curiae to provide copies of the said report to the

learned counsel representing the States of Punjab and

Haryana as well as the learned Additional Solicitor

General. There are two issues which we must consider.

15
7. The learned counsel representing the Delhi

Government stated that there was a ban on use of

firecrackers in Delhi. There cannot be any dispute that

the ban was hardly implemented. Moreover, the effect of

non-implementation of the ban is very apparent from the

report of the CSE which shows that the pollution level in

Delhi in the Diwali of 2024 was all time high. It was

much higher than the Diwali of 2022 and 2023. Moreover,

the report indicates that even farm fires were on rise

during Diwali days. We direct the Delhi Government to

to file a detailed affidavit placing on record the orders

containing the use of firecrackers and the steps taken by

the Delhi Government to implement the same.

8. We issue notice to the Commissioner of Police,

Delhi calling upon him to file an affidavit indicating

the steps taken by the Police to enforce the complete ban

on use of firecrackers in Delhi. While filing the

affidavits, the Delhi Government and the Police must also

state what effective steps they propose to take next year

to ensure that the ban on use of firecrackers is fully

implemented. This will also include the measures be

taken for public awareness.

16
9. We also direct the Governments of Haryana and

Punjab to file the affidavits indicating the details

about the number of instances of stubble burning/farm

fires during the last 10 days of October, 2024 and the

first 3 days of November, 2024 and the action taken

thereon.

10. In paragraph 15 of the last order dated 23 rd October,

2024 we have highlighted the issue of large scale open

burning of garbage/waste burning and three other issues.

The learned counsel appearing for the Delhi Government

states that an affidavit has been filed on 30th October,

2024. Copies of the affidavit be provided by the learned

counsel to all the parties.

11. The affidavits by Delhi Government and the

Commissioner of Police to be filed within one week from

today. The Delhi Government while filing the affidavit

will also state whether there were instances of fires in

farms within the limits of Delhi.

12. For considering these aspects of what happened

during Diwali of 2024, the Court will consider the issue

on 11th November, 2024.

13. In the meanwhile, the Government of Delhi and the

other parties will also take a call on the issue of

perpetual ban on use of firecrackers in Delhi.

17
IA No.235980/2024

14. This application will be considered on 11th November,

2024.

I.A. NOS.88585 of 2020, 16223, 16230, 16235 and 16236 of


2021

15. The applicant appearing in person states that IA

Diary Nos.50346, 50347, 50349 and 50350 of 2020 were

heard on 15th June, 2020 in Covid time when he could not

get connectivity. Therefore, he could not appear. The

applications were dismissed.

16. We, therefore, recall the order dated 15th June, 2020

only to the extent of dismissal of IA Diary Nos. 50346,

50347, 50349 and 50350 of 2020 and the said applications
