NEW DELHI, Apr 30:
The ban on registration of diesel-run SUVs and high-end cars with engine capacity of 2000 cc and above in Delhi and NCR will continue as the Supreme Court today did not modify its earlier order which said the bar would remain in effect till further orders.
A bench comprising Chief Justice T S Thakur and Justices A K Sikri and R Banumathi will now resume on May 9 the hearing on various pleas including those of automobile giants like Mercedes, Toyota, Mahindra and General Motors for allowing registration of big diesel cars and SUVs.
The apex court, on December 16 last year, had barred registration of cars and vehicles with engine capacity of 2000 cc and above till March 31.
“Interim order dated 16th December, 2015 passed by us restraining registration of diesel cars with a capacity of 2000 cc and above, shall continue pending further orders from this Court,” it said on March 31.
As the court today did not pass any direction with regard to the registration of these vehicles, the order banning it would now continue till further orders.(PTI)
