The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has turned down a plea that has sought an exemption from the ban on 10-year-old diesel vehicles in the Delhi-NCR on grounds of being disabled. A bench comprising NGT Chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel and Justice Sudhir Agarwal said such an application on a decided matter was not maintainable.
"Such applications in a decided matter cannot be allowed to be entertained for all times. In view of the above, the application is dismissed as not maintainable," it said. The tribunal was hearing a plea filed by Sarabjit A Singh seeking direction for grant of exemption to use a diesel vehicle in the Delhi-NCR area beyond the 10-year time limit on grounds that the applicant is 100 percent disabled.
The NGT had earlier dismissed the Centre's plea seeking modification of its order banning 10-year-old diesel vehicles in the Delhi-NCR.
