New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to examine whether the ongoing probe into the June 12 Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, which claimed over 260 lives, meets the standards of fairness, transparency, and independence.
"Issue notice to the respondents for the limited purpose of ensuring a free, fair, impartial, independent and expeditious investigation," the Justice Surya Kant-led Bench ordered.
The plea further alleged that the government’s own regulatory body was investigating itself, leading to a conflict of interest.
The apex court, however, voiced reservations about the petitioner’s plea for immediate public disclosure of all investigation materials, including the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) and Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) transcripts.
The plea has prayed for public disclosure of the complete DFDR output, full CVR transcripts, and appointment of independent investigators under the supervision of the Supreme Court to ensure transparency.
