The Supreme Court has refused to entertain a plea alleging exorbitant air fares from destinations like Dubai to Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala.
A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra asked the ‘Kerala Pravasi Association’, which filed the PIL, to move the Kerala High Court with its grievances.
The PIL also challenged one of the rules of the Indian Aviation Act which permits airlines to set ticket prices, and alleged it violated the citizens’ right to travel and resulted in exploitation of Indian travellers.
