The Supreme Court on August 31 decided to examine how regulations and restrictions on the sale of “green crackers” are being enforced on the ground. A Bench of Justices AS Bopanna and MM Sundresh scheduled the hearing for September 13 to study the “protocol to implement regulations/restrictions on the sale of green crackers”.
The court, addressing Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, appearing for the government, said it would fine tune the regulatory mechanism if need be.
“If our orders are not complied with, proceedings become a mockery. There should be a regulatory mechanism to ensure compliance,” Justice Sundresh observed.
