- The Supreme Court of India has closed the 40-year-old MC Mehta v. Union of India case related to air pollution in Delhi-NCR.
- The case was originally filed in 1985 by environmentalist MC Mehta and became a landmark Public Interest Litigation in environmental law.
- Over the years, the case led to major measures like CNG adoption in Delhi transport and stricter pollution control norms.
- The court has now initiated a suo motu case titled “Re: Issues of air pollution in NCR” to address ongoing concerns more effectively.
- It also directed those pending applications be converted into separate writ petitions for better case management.
- The move aims to ensure faster and more focused handling of air pollution issues in the National Capital Region.
