Poorly written. The author seems has very little knowledge of issues at hand. The Govt must seriously challenge the SC order because SC does not have any authority to order wholesale condemnation of vehicles 10/15 years old without following due process of law. So long as the vehicle meets emission norms, no action should be taken. SC order is an invention of arbitrary rule in direct violation of existing law. So long as vehicles were manufactured as per existing law and same were meeting fitness/pollution standards, vehicles cannot be condemned. What about the life time road tax paid? Will the SC arrange for refund? Who will provide the funds to replace the cars? So many serious issues that need discussion, but the owner is interested in cricket!!!
