The Supreme Court will hear a plea by Y N Bhardwaj, whose son owns a BS-IV diesel Volvo XC-60 that was allegedly denied a renewed Pollution Under Control Certificate after crossing 15 years. Times Now reports that pollution centres refused renewal, leaving the car unable to obtain fuel under Delhi directives requiring a valid PUCC. Senior advocate Rakesh Khanna told the court that a previous Supreme Court order exempted BS-IV and newer vehicles from coercive action based on age, limiting the restriction to BS-I, BS-II and BS-III vehicles. Chief Justice Surya Kant said the matter would be listed, while urging the owner to support efforts to reduce pollution. The car’s PUCC expired on February 25.
