The Centre today told the Supreme Court that it will take a decision in a month-and-a-half on whether to allow the commercial roll out of Genetically Modified (GM) mustard crop in the country. <br/><br/>A bench comprising Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justice D Y Chandrachud told Additional Solicitor General P S Narasimha that the court would like to hear the petition challenging the commercial release, if the government takes a decision in favour of GM mustard crop. The bench also said that as the mustard sowing season begins in the month of October, any decision favouring the roll out will come into effect after the court examines it. <br/><br/>The court fixed the matter for hearing in the second week of September. Earlier the bench had granted time to the Centre to apprise it as to by when it will take a policy decision on the roll out. The apex court had on October 17 last year extended the stay on the commercial release of GM mustard crop until further orders.
