The court held that the provisions of the CAQM Act relating to penalty for stubble burning were not implemented. The court criticized the Center for making environmental laws useless.
The Supreme Court said that it is the fundamental right of everyone to live in a clean and pollution-free environment and it is the duty of the Central and State Governments to maintain the rights of the citizens.

Justice Abhay Oka has said that the Government of India has not made any system. Environmental protection laws have become impotent. You have amended Section 15 and imposed fine instead of punishment and the necessary procedure for imposing fine is not being followed.
