The reason SC is giving such apparently populist or populist at least to most loud demographic is because it does not want to be scrutinized for collegium system and other shortcomings like corruption and inordinate delay in decision making . Any neutral observer will see hypocrisy in crying over beef ban and supporting this ban . Now fine differences between these two and various other bans will be brought forward . But when it was time to oppose beef ban , it was never said we do not support bans subjective conditions apply . Because that will involve weighing on subtle differences between bans and yielding to middle ground that some bans can be enacted given sufficient majority believes in it . I personally believe ban is too much for temporally insignificant pollutant and that too from a court in an arbitrary manner .
