| "Regulations become mockery if not implemented": Supreme Court | | | agencies
NEW DELHI, Aug 31: Observing that regulations become a "mockery" if not implemented, the Supreme Court Thursday asked the Centre and regulatory bodies like Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization (PESO) to apprise it of measures taken to strengthen the protocols to ban production and sale of non-green firecrackers across the country. A bench comprising Justices AS Bopanna and MM Sundresh asked Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, appearing for the Centre and regulatory bodies, to inform it about steps that can be taken to implement the regulatory mechanism to enforce the ban on prohibited firecrackers. "It becomes mockery unless we have a mechanism to make them (manufacturers and the sellers) conform to the guidelines," the bench said. Senior advocate Shyam Divan, appearing for some of the manufacturers, said expert bodies like PESO, CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board) and the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) have dealt with the issue of green crackers and now quality control was the only thing remaining to be addressed.
