#SupremeCourt to hear application filed in PIL relating to banning the use of certain chemicals in the fireworks by the manufacturers.

Earlier, the Court had issued notice in the application filed by three infants over the issue of degradation of air quality.

Sr Adv Atmaram NS Nadkarni appearing for the Association of Fire Crackers Manufacturers.

Justice Shah- We don't want bursting of fire crackers in the Court room, one by one we'll give opportunity. Otherwise also I'm afraid of fire crackers.

Sr Adv Gopal Sankaranarayanan mentioning about the application listed before the Court.

Justice Shah- We'll hear everything after 2:00 PM

ASG Aishwarya Bhati submits that our affidavit may be taken up in which we have mentioned about the green crackers and what is the way forward.

Justice Shah- We'll hear everything...

Nadkarni, mentioning about the Green crackers.

Justice Shah- We cannot permit to play with the right to life of others. Our prime focus is the right to life of innocent persons.

Justice Shah further added that It is a problem in our country, we have laws but they are not implemented, we want that our orders must be implemented in true spirit.

Another Counsel mentioning whether his part heard matter will be taken?

Justice Shah- No, we'll take it later, this is more important otherwise they will not celebrate Diwali.

Sankaranarayanan submits that various direction has been passed, one is that no dealer licenses will be given, the second was with reference to transport of Firecrackers. We ordered one and the box is just behind me...

Justice Shah- It is very difficult to keep it in your office

Sankaranarayanan added that milords I have a fire extinguisher as well.

Sankaranarayanan- Despite a long rope given to the manufacturers they are violating again and again...they are selling it online, despite banning barium they are adding it.

Justice Shah- Give us the orders passed by this Court in a saparate compilation by tomorrow.

Sankaranarayanan says that consistently we are seeing, 300 different types of fire crackers that were banned are still going on...even in Maharashtra these sales are going on.

Sankaranarayanan further added, Milords fire crackers are not something like narcotics that someone will have in bathroom, authorities can easily see it and still nothing is done.

Sankaranarayanan, Milords what is happening is this organization is giving certification to the crackers that has barium.
And there are only 5 types of crackers that are in the category of Green Crackers. That is why these applications need to be heard.

Sankaranarayanan- Playing ball completely with the manufacturers the centre places this affidavit...

Justice Shah- What is the status of NEERI and PESO

Sankaranarayanan- Ladi's were banned, Milords might remember when we were Children and pollution was not a problem everyone used to play with it.

Justice Shah- Everyday there is a violation, those 1000, 10000 Ladi, every religion event, marriages, we'll have to setup liability on someone. Otherwise this will not stop.

Sankaranarayana- Yes, Milords that is exactly what we have said.

Justice Shah- Now, Tomorrow.

This is applicable pan India right?

Sankaranarayanan- Yes Milords everything is pan India.

Justice Shah- No, these roles.

Sankaranarayanan- Yes milords new are not manufactured and old are not sold.
Nadkarni- Yes Milords these are not manufactured

The bench will continue hearing the matter tomorrow.
