The Supreme Court has dismissed a petition seeking a nationwide ban on non-biodegradable lawyer bands, with Chief Justice Bhushan R Gavai cautioning against the court's potential overreach. The petition was filed by Sakshi Vijay, who claimed to have stumbled upon a stash of discarded lawyer bands during her Diwali cleaning. Vijay's plea asked the court to regulate the use of lawyer bands due to environmental concerns, but the bench rejected the idea, citing the need for boundaries. 'If we start regulating handkerchiefs, how far can we go?' the bench questioned, highlighting the potential for an endless list of items to be monitored. The court ultimately dismissed the plea, leaving the fate of lawyer bands unchanged.
