Kerala HC dismisses plea for CBI probe into Air India Express crash
The Kerala High Court has dismissed a writ petition seeking a judicial probe and a Central Bureau of India investigation into the Air India Express crash which killed 19 passengers in August.
Activist-lawyer Yeshwanth Shenoy had moved the high court demanding setting up of a court of inquiry to probe the incident. Shenoy had also sought a CBI investigation and closure of all operations at Kozhikode airport in view of safety issues.
The bench of Chief Justice S Manikumar and Justice Shaji P Chaly however refused to a parallel investigation into the matter.
