• The Delhi government's notification bans all non-BS-6 vehicles to combat air pollution and safeguard public health.
• The petitioner, who bought a BS-4 vehicle in 2020, argued the ban is unjust as his car is only 5 years old and was legal at purchase.
• He also highlighted previous Supreme Court relief for BS-4 vehicles, stressing the financial burden on common people.
