Hindustan Times Haryana
|December 09, 2025
As domestic carrier IndiGo's unprecedented operational meltdown stretched into its seventh consecutive day, triggering thousands of flight cancellations and chaos across major airports, the judiciary on Monday witnessed parallel developments in the capital.
While the Supreme Court declined to urgently hear a plea seeking immediate judicial intervention in the crisis, the Delhi high court agreed to examine on Wednesday a petition demanding ground support measures for stranded passengers.
The high court is also expected to hear on December 15 a plea filed by the Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP), seeking initiation of contempt proceedings against the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for granting exemptions to certain airline operators from implementing the new Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) norms.
