Delhi lawyers have been granted an exemption from the Bharat Stage VI (BS‑VI) emission norms, a move that has drawn criticism from political and judicial leaders. MP Mahua Moitra has publicly questioned the legality of the exemption, arguing that it undermines environmental regulations. Chief Justice Saurav Das, the head of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, has also raised concerns, suggesting that the exemption may contravene national environmental standards. The exemption, if upheld, could set a precedent for other professional groups seeking similar relief, raising broader questions about regulatory consistency across India.
