The Allahabad High Court today directed Uttar Pradesh government to issue a notification enforcing a complete ban on sale and use of polythene across the state by December 31 next.
The order was passed by a division bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justice Yashwant Verma following an assurance by Advocate General Vijay Bahadur Singh that the Court may "fix any deadline" and the "state government will positively issue a notification."
The order came in the course of hearing on a Public Interest Litigation filed by one Ashok Kumar who had sought the court's intervention for improving public sanitation in the city of Allahabad.
