The Delhi High Court on Tuesday upheld a city government’s notification banning use of plastic bags in specified areas of the capital.

A division bench headed by Justice Madan B Lokur dismissed the plea of plastic manufacturers’ association challenging the notification on the ground that they were not consulted before bringing it into the force.

All India Plastic Manufacturers’ Association had sought the court’s direction to quash the notification against the use of plastic bags in the capital.
