SC calls selective release of AI crash report ‘irresponsible’The Supreme Court criticized the selective release of the preliminary Air India crash report, calling it “irresponsible” and urging confidentiality. That’s why we should wait for the final report,” the bench observed. “We should not release the information piecemeal and maintain utmost confidentiality till the regular inquiry is taken to its logical conclusion. “Media reporting from one isolated line from the preliminary report has actually distorted the larger picture,” he submitted, and added that the probe panel could be headed by a judicial person. The plea says the AAIB issued its preliminary report on July 12, attributing the accident to “fuel cutoff switches” being moved from “run” to “cutoff”, effectively suggesting a pilot error.
