SC on CBI’s report on firecrackers

The bench observed, if it were to issue orders for only green crackers, it may end up flouted, and the manufacturers may continue to use banned chemicals.The top court allowed the firecracker manufacturers to peruse the CBI report and file a counter on it, and scheduled the matter for further hearing on October 6.When counsel representing a firecracker manufacturer asked the court to hear her client, the bench remarked: “Yes, we will hear you, before sending you to jail.”Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati appeared for the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change.
