In Brief
This judgment addresses multiple applications under a long-standing environmental writ petition concerning vehicle registration. The Supreme Court allowed registration for vehicles of public authorities (municipalities, fire service, cantonment board, schools) that meet BS-IV/BS-VI emission standards. However, for private individuals seeking registration in states outside Delhi (Uttar Pradesh), the Court directed the Amicus Curiae to verify whether such applicants should be referred to the competent High Court instead, declining to exercise wider writ jurisdiction over matters more appropriately within a High Court's territorial jurisdiction.">
