Supreme Court rejects plea seeking Ahmedabad Air India crash details
India
The Supreme Court has turned down a plea asking for more details from the initial report on last year's tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad, which claimed 260 lives.
The chief justice pointed out that none of the victims' families were coming to the court, and questioned why the petitioner wanted it.
Judges advise RTI not PIL
The judges said if someone really wants these details, they should use the Right to Information (RTI) route instead of filing a PIL.
They also warned against using public interest cases just to dig up information without a real connection to the tragedy.
Chief Justice Kant said the petitioner had a deep-rooted agenda, and added: "Don't compel us to make any adverse remarks."
