Terminator-style field trials in India

The Public Interest Litigation (PIL) brought before the Supreme Court in India by Aruna Rodrigues and her co-petitioners has already led to a temporary ban on new GM field trials in India, starting from the 22nd of September.

But on the 13th October, the Supreme Court in response to an application from Delhi University, agreed to make an exception. Based on the evidence before it, the Supreme Court agreed to allow Delhi University to conduct field trials of their newly developed GM Mustard, subject to the condition that they would take all precautions and that they would completely destroy the crop if the Court became convinced that GM Mustard had bio-safety hazards.
