The Supreme Court on Monday (December 15, 2025) said it will list for hearing on December 17 a plea related to worsening air pollution levels in Delhi-NCR.

A Bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pamcholi took note of the submissions of senior advocate Aprajita Singh, who is assisting it as an amicus curiae, that though the preventive measures are there in place but the key issue was of their poor implementation by the authorities.
