A division bench of Justice Sabyasachi Bhattacharya and Justice Aniruddha Roy directed the police to initiate legal action against any person found violating the ban and confiscated firecrackers.
The order supersedes a recent notification of the West Bengal Pollution Control Board that had allowed ‘green’ crackers to be burst for a limited time on Diwali and Kali Puja.
The High Court bench passed the order on a petition seeking a ban on fireworks. The court had also banned firecrackers in 2020.
