R.M Dhariwal 100% Eou vs U.O.I & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the writ petition concerning the exemption under Rule-2 of the Plastic Wastes (Management & Handling) Rules, 2011 for exporting Pan Masala, Gutkha, and tobacco in multilayered plastic sachets. The Court noted that the petitioner's situation was materially identical to that in Baba Global Ltd. v. Union of India, where a similar exemption was granted. The Court held that the petitioner should be treated equally and granted the exemption, emphasizing the need for consistency in the application of the law under Articles 14 and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution and the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.
