New Delhi, June 5 -- The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to urgently hear a plea against an order passed by the Madhya Pradesh high court directing incineration of the toxic chemical waste from the Bhopal gas tragedy site at Pithampur in Madhya Pradesh's Dhar district.

The HC order came on a petition filed by one late Alok Pratap Singh seeking disposal of waste from UCIL factory....
