The Supreme Court has agreed to hear PILs challenging the official investigation into the June 12 Air India plane crash, alleging violation of fundamental rights and lack of transparency. The pleas seek a court-monitored inquiry amid concerns raised by pilots’ bodies and victims’ families over aircraft safety and selective disclosure of probe findings.
The black box from the Air India Boeing 787-8 crash has been recovered, prompting an investigation under India’s Aircraft Accident Rules, 2017. The data will help determine accountability and adherence to aviation laws. The crash, involving 242 passengers, resulted in only one survivor, marking a significant aviation tragedy.
