Registration of BS-6 light, heavy diesel vehicles gets Supreme Court nod

The Supreme Court on Tuesday gave a go-ahead to the registration of light and heavy diesel BS-6 vehicles, used for both public utilities and essential services.

A Bench, headed by Justice L. Nageswara Rao and also comprising Justice B.R. Gavai, passed the order after Amicus Curiae and Senior Advocate A.D.N. Rao submitted that BS-6 light and heavy diesel vehicles are used for public utility and essential services, and they may be allowed for registration.

The Court directed the authorities concerned that they should not seek court orders for the purpose of registration of these vehicles.

The Apex Court also dealt with a plea seeking relaxation for sale of BS-6 vehicles in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, on account of the curfew and internet suspension imposed in 2019, following the abrogation of Article 370.
