New Delhi: The Union Ministry of Civil Aviation was asked on Friday by the Supreme Court to respond to a plea challenging the Centre notification, which fixes Rs 7.5 lakhs as compensation in case of a domestic air passenger's death against Rs 75 lakhs for international fliers.
A bench of Justices Dalveer Bhandari and Dipak Misra issued notice to the ministry on a plea challenging a 1973 notification of the Union government, which fixes air liners' liability in respect of passengers, baggage and cargo in different eventualities.
The petition was filed by Bihar native Rajesh Kumar whose son had died in an air ambulance crash last May at Faridabad in Haryana, along with all others including the flight crew members.
