The Supreme Court issues notice to the Centre on the plea by the Air India pilot’s father, seeking a judicial inquiry into the Ahmedabad plane crash and alleging bias in the initial probe.
The Supreme Court of India Friday asked the Central Government and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation to respond to the urgent plea seeking an independent judicial probe into the June crash of an Air India plane in Ahmedabad that killed 260 people.
The court had issued the notices following a petition filed by 91-year-old Pushkaraj Sabharwal, father of deceased Pilot-in-Command Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, who demanded accountability and an independent investigation sans administrative bias.SC Rejects Pilot Blame NarrativeA Bench of Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi consoled the distraught petitioner, telling him not to burden himself with perceived blame against his son. Pilot Vindicated: Justice Kant told the pilots father, It’s extremely unfortunate, this crash, but you should not carry this burden that your son is being blamed. Nobody can blame him for anything. Report Analysis: The bench further clarified that the preliminary report by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau does not signal the pilots fault. There is no insinuation against the pilot even in the preliminary probe report, the court added. The judge said the report only refers to one pilot asking the other if the fuel switch was cut off and the other replying in the negative. Dismissing Foreign Media: The top court also criticized sensational coverage by foreign media, calling it nasty reporting, and affirmed, No one in India believes it was the pilots fault. Plea For Independent Judicial Inquiry The petition, which the court has agreed to hear along with a similar plea next week, contends that the ongoing investigation by AAIB is not independent and has made premature indications of human error by focusing on the cockpit conversation about the fuel cut-off. The preliminary report by AAIB had indicated that fuel control switches for both the engines moved from RUN to CUTOFF just seconds after the lift-off of Boeing 787-8, causing the loss of thrust in both the engines and leading to the catastrophic crash.
