The Allahabad High Court today issued notices to the country's top civil aviation authority and five private airlines, on a PIL seeking cancellation of the companies' licenses for arbitrarily spiking fares during occasions such as the ‘Jat Stir' and the Cricket World Cup.
The court has given three weeks to the respondents to reply and fixed May 16 as the next day of hearing.
A division Bench comprising Mr Chief Justice F.I. Rebello and Mr Justice D.K. Arora passed this order on a PIL filed by social activist Nutan Thakur.
The petitioner has alleged that airlines hiked fares by two-three times on certain occasions against public interest and welfare.
The court has issued notices to Jet Airways, Jet Lite India Ltd, Kingfisher Airlines, GO Airlines (India) Private Ltd, Inter Globe Aviation Private Ltd (IndiGo) and also the Director General of Civil Aviation.
