A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices Hima Kohli and J B Pardiwala asked lawyer Shashank Shekhar Jha, who filed the PIL, whether banning stubble burning alone would help in curbing air pollution.
“So what is your solution to Delhi pollution,” the CJI asked Jha.

"Some matters, courts can look into and some it cannot. Since they are not judicially amenable... We have heard you and it would not be taken up now,” the CJI said. 바카라 웹사이트
