New Delhi, September 19 (IANS) A public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed before the Supreme Court, which is demanding more transparency and independent inspection in the investigation of Air India plane crash at Ahmedabad on June 12 by APEX Court, which claimed more than 260 lives.
The petition filed by the NGO Safety Matters Foundation has claimed that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and the aircraft Bureau of Investigation (AAIB) are doing a “selective and incomplete disclosure” of a “selective and incomplete important information”, which blames the pilots by monitoring the premature pilots.
The incomplete disclosure of “respondents” (officers) selective and important information, in association with the pre -time of the pilot error, ignoring the systemic defects, Article 21 and Article 14 of the Constitution of India have been continuously violated, “the petition filed through Advocate Pranav Sachdeva.
PIL reported that important technical issues, such as fuel control switch locking mechanisms and malfunctions of electoral discomfort, were ignored in the initial report. “The defendants (authorities) have compromised on the fairness, perfection and credibility of the investigation,” said this.
The argument further alleged that the government’s own regulatory body was investigating itself, causing a conflict of interests. “DGCA, being the regulatory authority responsible for certifying the aircraft, is subject to self -investigation in the matter to oversee its air -air and monitor compliance with the operator. By allowing its own officers to dominate the investigation, a direct conflict of interest is generated, as the investigation will essentially require the investigation of their oversat details.”
It was also revealed that the only survivor, the testimony of businessman Vishwaskumar Ramesh, who had reported electoral discrepancies inside the cabin before the accident, was suppressed in the official account.
Emphasizing that aviation security concerns every passenger in India, the pilot said, “Every passenger who climbs on an aircraft does it with a legitimate expectation that the state has discharged its duties to ensure that the sky is safe, and if there is a tragedy, it will be examined with transparency, freedom and integrity.
The petition has prayed for public disclosure for the appointment of independent investigators under the supervision of the Supreme Court to ensure full digital flight data recorder (DFDR) output, full cockpit voice recorder (CVR) tape, and transparency.
