The PIL, which will come up for hearing on Wednesday (December 17, 2025), also sought an enquiry by a retired judge or Lokpal to identify negligence and lapses by the Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGCA) that precipitated the crisis.
The petition further sought to direct the Union Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Department of Consumer Affairs to initiate a “class action suit” under the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act against Indigo for the suffering and damage caused to passengers over the last couple of months.
