Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the National Green Tribunal's order directing the Container Corporation to phase out diesel vehicles at the Tughlakabad Inland Container Depot under Section 14, Section 15, and Section 18(1) of the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010. The Court held that the NGT's order aimed to mitigate air pollution in Delhi NCR by promoting the use of electric and CNG vehicles, and it emphasized the need for a balanced approach to cargo movement to avoid increased road pollution. The Court ultimately upheld the NGT's directions while ensuring that no coercive action would be taken against the appellant during the appeal process.
