Mangalore Air Crash - Victims' Families Decide to Approach Supreme Court

Mangalore: Feeling humiliated and harassed, Mangalore Air India Crash Victims Families Association has decided to appeal to the Supreme Court (SC) against a decision of Kerala High Court (HC).
It may be recalled that a single-judge bench of Kerala HC, based on a petition filed by the association, had ordered Air India to pay compensation at the rate of Rs 75 lac per victim relating the above crash. Air India had questioned this decision in the division bench of the HC. The division bench not only stayed operation of the single-judge bench order, but also asked the victims to find a solution to the problem by entering into a process of dialogue with Air India. Aggrieved by the order, the association is thinking of approaching SC.
A meeting of victims of the crash is being held at Sahodaya Hall in the city at 11.30 am on September 18, for discussing the above decision. The meeting is proposed to be organized to hold detailed discussions on the pros and cons, cost, etc of approaching the SC, before taking a final decision.
