The Delhi High Court on Thursday directed Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to constitute an appellate committee within two weeks’ time to examine Shankar Mishra’s appeal against Air India designating him an “unruly passenger” and banning him from flying for four months.
Mishra accused of urinating on an elderly female co-passenger on a New York-Delhi Air India flight, recently moved the High Court seeking constitution of an appellate committee to hear his appeal.
The court has asked the DGCA appellate committee to hold its first meeting on April 20 to hear Mishra’s plea.
It also directed the petitioner Mishra to file an appeal in two weeks.
