New Delhi: Jet Airways (India) on Friday moved the Supreme Court against the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission’s (NCDRC) order that asked it to deposit R25 lakh as penalty in the Consumer Welfare Fund for indulging in “unfair trade practices” by way of alleged misleading advertisements.
A bench headed by Justice Madan B Lokur asked the airline to place before it legible copies of the contentious advertisements within two weeks.
Senior counsel Shyam Divan and counsel Ujwal Rana, appearing for Jet Airways, argued that there was no intention of deceiving or misleading passengers and the advertisements did say that taxes and surcharges would be extra. “It was mentioned that basic fare is starting from R500 onwards and the advertisement mentioned that conditions apply,” the counsel said.
