The Delhi High Court Wednesday said it will hear next week the plea seeking direction to the Civil Aviation Ministry and the DGCA to ensure refunds or provide alternative travel mode for passengers who have booked tickets with Jet Airways, which has temporarily suspended all its domestic and international flights.
A bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice A J Bhambhani however remarked that “it (plea) is filed only for publicity, come on May 1”.
The bench observed that the petition was all in the media reports even before coming up for hearing in the court.
The plea, filed by activist Bejon Kumar Misra, said the sudden suspension of air services of Jet Airways has resulted in a major crisis for the passengers who were not informed about it earlier.
