New Delhi: The Delhi High Court Tuesday sought Air India’s stand on a plea by Shankar Mishra, who has been accused of urinating on an elderly woman co-passenger on board a New York-New Delhi flight last year, for supply of certain documents to enable him to prove his innocence.
Justice Subramonium Prasad issued notice to the airline on Mishra’s petition which challenged an appellate committee’s order refusing to direct Air India to provide the material sought by him, and granted it time to file a reply.
In March, the high court had directed aviation regulator DGCA to form the appellate committee under the Civil Aviation Requirements for Unruly Passengers to hear Mishra’s appeal against the 4-month flying ban slapped on him after the alleged incident.
