more-inThe Supreme Court on Thursday said it would on Friday hear a plea seeking restoration of its last year’s order banning firecrackers in Delhi-NCR. The plea has also sought recall of last month’s SC verdict which had temporarily lifted the order of November 11, 2016, suspending permanent licences for sale of firecrackers in Delhi-NCR. The SC had then suspended all licences which “permit sale of fireworks, wholesale and retail within the territory of NCR”. ‘Ban should continue’“What modification you are seeking,” the Bench asked. “We are seeking recall of this [September 12] order and restoration of the earlier order of November 2016,” the lawyer said, adding “the ban order of 2016 should continue”.
