India's Supreme Court directs Indigo flight crisis petitioner to Delhi High Court, where proceedings are ongoing.

Key Points

  • 1The Indian Supreme Court directed a PIL petitioner regarding Indigo's flight crisis to the Delhi High Court.
  • 2The Delhi High Court is already actively hearing matters related to the airline's operational disruptions.
  • 3The petitioner can formally join the existing legal proceedings at the Delhi High Court.

The Indian Supreme Court has instructed an advocate who filed a public interest litigation (PIL) concerning recent widespread flight delays and cancellations by Indigo to approach the Delhi High Court. The apex court, in its ruling on Monday, noted that the Delhi High Court is already actively engaged in hearing matters related to the airline's operational disruptions, making it the appropriate forum for the new petition.

The directive from the Supreme Court indicates a procedural move, allowing for the consolidation of legal efforts pertaining to the Indigo flight crisis. The petitioner has been advised that they can formally join the ongoing proceedings at the Delhi High Court, ensuring that all relevant aspects of the case are addressed within a single judicial framework. This decision aims to streamline the legal process and avoid parallel hearings on similar issues.
