The Supreme Court closed decades-old environmental cases, demanding action on Delhi’s air quality and coal phaseouts.
The Supreme Court on February 23, 2026, moved to close decades-old MC Mehta environmental cases, citing misleading perceptions of unresolved issues despite significant progress.
Chief Justice Surya Kant criticized endless interlocutory applications—85 pending in MC Mehta’s name—that artificially keep old cases active.
The court ordered re-captioning to reflect actual status, barred further applications in the 1985 case, and scheduled separate hearings for major matters.
It directed Delhi to submit a detailed air quality action plan, mandated central ministries to propose phasing out coal industries in Delhi-NCR, and required states to seek public input on proposed coal plant bans within 300 km of Delhi.
The court emphasized phased implementation of long-term measures, including dust control, stubble burning prevention, greening, and stronger air quality governance.
