The Coalition of GM Free India, an informal network of organiations and individuals campaigning to keep India GM-Free, had specifically requested the Supreme Court to hear the matter November 3

The Supreme Court (SC) November 3, 2022 granted time till November 10 to the Union government to respond to a petition challenging its decision giving the go-ahead to environmental clearance for genetically modified (GM) mustard. The court asked the Centre to put its response on record, along with an affidavit and additional documents.

“The petitioner may also file additional documents. We would request learned counsel for the parties to also file short notes on their proposed submissions before the matter is taken up next,” the SC bench said.

The Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC), a body of the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, had recommended the environmental release of the seed for trials, demonstrations and seed productions in a meeting October 18.

Dhara Mustard Hybrid (DMH-11) is a hybrid seed variety that has stirred a storm between scientists, farmers and activists over its commercialisation. It is the first GM crop to be commercially released and grown by farmers in India.

The Coalition of GM Free India, an informal network of organisations and individuals campaigning and advocating to keep India GM-Free, had opposed the move of the Centre claiming it to be unscientific and alleged that no biosafety protocols were followed in the process.
