New Delhi, July 17: A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Delhi High Court asking the Centre and relevant authorities to issue a directive to halt Spicejet Airlines’ operations due to a number of recent events involving technical difficulties with its aircraft.
In addition to raising concerns about security, the petition asked for guidance on how to fairly compensate passengers whose lives were in danger throughout the trip and who had to deal with the psychological anguish of death terror.
The petition has been filed by practicing attorney Rahul Bhardwaj and his four-year-old son asking that the Ministry of Civil Aviation, the DGCA, and others be directed to form a special fast-track commission to determine whether Spicejet Airlines should be allowed to continue operating while all security precautions are not being adhered to.
The plea alleged that the said airlines have violated the basic principles of rule of law which gives the protection, safety and security to the life, liberty, dignity and property of the passengers and gives the environment so that the passengers may lead their journey in a pleasant manner and their personal liberty and property may be protected and preserved in a healthy environment.
