VW’s plea against emissions related FIR dismissed by SC

The Supreme Court of India has quashed a plea by Skoda Auto Volkswagen India against an FIR filed by a customer in December 2015 over the alleged use of a cheat device in its diesel car.

A complaint was made in the National Green Tribunal and an FIR was registered in Uttar Pradesh. In March, 2019 a penalty was imposed on the automaker. The company then made a plea in the Allahabad High Court seeking the dismissal of the FIR. However, the court dismissed the plea, but that order was stayed by the Supreme Court.

On November 4, 2020, the Supreme Court had reserved the verdict on the plea asking why the investigation should not go on in the case.
