Selective leaks unfortunate: Supreme Court poser on court-monitored Air India crash probe

The Supreme Court on Monday issued notices to the Centre and aviation regulator DGCA on a plea for a court-monitored probe into the June 12 Air India crash, after the petitioner alleged unfair attempts by authorities to blame the pilots.

As the petitioner, the pilots’ body Safety Matters Foundation, suggested that selective leaks of the preliminary probe report were being made to prematurely suggest pilot error, the court said this was “unfortunate”.
