Supreme Court petition challenges Delhi's retroactive end-of-life vehicle policy.

A petition has been filed with the Supreme Court of India by Nagalaxmi Laxmi Narayan against the Delhi government's "Handling End of Life Vehicles in Public Places" guidelines from January 2024. The policy mandates scrapping diesel vehicles over 10 years old and petrol vehicles over 15 years, regardless of condition. The petitioner argues this retroactive application is arbitrary, violates property rights, and fails to consider vehicle roadworthiness or emissions.
