Petitioner Sabu Steephen, a Kerala resident, claimed that the exhaust in farming vehicles like tractor was fixed at the higher level and it reduced pollution. The argument did not impress the bench which dismissed the petition saying it was devoid of any scientific research or material.

It also said the pollution issue was already pending before another bench and asked “how many pleas will the court hear on the same issue?”
