The Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court has asked the Indian government to submit copies of licence granted to private airlines as well as an order that removed upper and lower ceiling on airfare increase.
Social activist Dr Nutan Thakur has filed a writ petition against arbitrary raising of airfares by private and government airlines. The public interest litigation (PIL) says, "Private Air transport service providers are raising the air fares exorbitantly and irrationally on such critical occasions as important festivals, imminent and unexpected law and order situations and other crucial situations. This is nothing but a malicious and greedy way to extort money from poor and helpless ordinary passengers who are forced to pay such huge money."
The bench of Justice VK Shukla and Justice Brijesh Kumar Srivastava-II have also asked the government and Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to present copies of licences granted to private airlines to verify whether the specified requirements were followed or not while granting such licences. The Bench also asked the government to submit a copy of 27 December 2013 order, which allegedly has removed the upper and lower ceiling on airfare increase.
