Father of pilot in Ahmedabad Air India crash moves Supreme Court for judicial probe

New Delhi, Oct 16 (UNI) The 91-year-old father of Air India pilot Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, who died in the fatal Ahmedabad air crash in June, has approached the Supreme Court seeking an independent judicial inquiry into the tragedy.
The petition, filed by Pushkaraj Sabharwal along with the Federation of Indian Pilots, urges the Court to constitute a judicially monitored committee headed by a retired Supreme Court judge with independent aviation experts as members to ensure a fair, transparent, and technically sound investigation into the June 12 crash of the Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, which claimed 260 lives during takeoff from Ahmedabad.
The plea challenges the ongoing probe by the union Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), alleging that the preliminary report submitted on June 15 is defective, biased, and riddled with serious technical and procedural lapses.
