Singh heard arguments raising concerns over the impartiality and transparency of the probe conducted by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB). He called for a fully independent investigation by an expert body, supervised by the Court to ensure fairness and transparency. Justice Kant noted the need for confidentiality and cautioned against premature public disclosure of flight data that could misrepresent facts or unfairly blame pilots. Justice Kant acknowledged the problem, calling such media reporting “very unfortunate” and highlighting the importance of a fair inquiry. The Court issued notice to the respondents, directing that the investigation must be free, impartial, independent, and expedited by a suitably expert team.
