A bench headed by NGT chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar also directed the senior-most officers from each company to be present before it on 8 August. “The counsel appearing for the petroleum companies, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum, shall ensure that senior-most officers from each company to be present before the next date of hearing. This would apply not only to the company, but to the contractors working with these companies,” the bench said. The contractors had moved NGT after it had last year passed an order banning the registration of new diesel vehicles as well as their re-registration after 10 years.
