The Supreme Court has issued a notice regarding the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad. The court passed this order on a petition filed by Pushkarraj Sabharwal, whose son Sumit was the pilot-in-command of Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The court has issued a notice to the Central Government and DGCA that the pilot-in-command could not be held responsible for the accident.
Indeed, the father of deceased Air India pilot Sumit Sabharwal has demanded a judicial inquiry into the plane crash. The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) also filed a petition with the same demand.
Hearing the petition, Justice Surya Kant told the deceased pilot's father, Sumit Sabharwal, "This accident was extremely unfortunate, but you shouldn't have to bear the burden of your son being blamed."
