Ban on trials of GM crops to continue
The GM industry has nothing to cheer about. SC has not vacated its order on fresh field trials of genetically modified crops. The apex court has only allowed ongoing and earlier approved trials to continue, while not vacating the ban that it had imposed in an interim order of September 22, 2006, banning any fresh field trials of GM crops. [...] Meanwhile, the lawyer for the petitioners in the case, Prashant Bhushan, has sent a legal notice to the environment ministry for the ”misinterpretation” of the SC order by minister of state for environment and forests, Namo Narain Meena.
