SC orders status quo on approval to GM mustard

-Hindustan Times

The Supreme Court on Thursday sought the Centre’s response to an application seeking moratorium on the release of genetically modified (GM) mustard even as the Centre assured there will be no “precipitative action” from its end till November 10, the next date of hearing.

The Supreme Court on Thursday sought the Centre’s response to an application seeking moratorium on the release of genetically modified (GM) mustard even as the Centre assured there will be no “precipitative action” from its end till November 10, the next date of hearing.

The hearing of the matter came at a crucial juncture as the Union ministry of environment, forests and climate change (MoEFCC) on October 25 granted clearance to the environmental release of GM Mustard. As part of field trials, they were to be placed at the facilities of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) at various locations.

A bench of justices Dinesh Maheshwari and Sudhanshu Dhulia, while dealing with two public interest litigations (PIL) filed by Gene Campaign and a group of activists led by Aruna Rodrigues, asked the Centre about the present position on GM Mustard. An application was moved in the petition filed by Rodrigues and others in 2016 and 2021, opposing open field trials or commercial release of herbicide tolerant (HT) crops, including GM mustard.
