The Supreme Court on November 6 refused to entertain a plea seeking the setting up of a permanent expert committee at the district level for assessment of pollution.
A bench headed by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud said it was purely a policy matter.
"Do you think pollution is going to end if we have committees all over districts across the country," the bench also comprising Justices J.B. Pardiwala and Manoj Misra said.
