New Delhi, May 10: The Supreme Court today indicated that it might consider this week an application to be filed by the Centre seeking a modification in its order for introduction of Euro I and II emission norms for registration of private non-commercial vehicles in National Capital Region (NCR).The indication came from a three judge bench comprising Chief Justice A S Anand, Justice M J Rao and Justice Santosh N Hegde when additional solicitor general Kirip N Raval urged the court to find some time to deal with this pressing matter.

The Chief Justice observed that the court was hard pressed for time as it was the last week before the summer vacation but said he would explore the possibility of constituting the special bench to deal with the matter.
The Chief Justice asked Raval to mention before him thematter again on Wednesday.
It is learnt that the union government is likely to file the application seeking modification of the April 29 order by tomorrow.
