The Supreme Court, while hearing a PIL seeking a ban on stubble burning in the states neighbouring Delhi, on Thursday told the advocates in the matter that they should switch from their "big and beautiful cars" to bicycles.

A bench headed by Chief Justice of India SA Bobde said: "Some experts told us informally that air pollution is not only caused due to stubble burning, but there are many other causes too. You lawyers will also have to get down from your big, beautiful cars and ride cycles. Not motor cycles, bicycles."
