Summary:
New Delhi: A plea was filed in the Delhi High Court on Monday seeking prompt redressal of consumer complaints in the wake of the ongoing Jet Airways crisis. The application was filed by consumer rights activist Bejon K.
Misra, whose earlier plea seeking capping of airfares charged by the various airlines in the country, is still pending before the court. He said that in the absence of any effective aviation sector regulator, a major crisis was looming over the country. Misra has earlier told the court that the authorities were behaving like “silent spectators” to the “arbitrary” air fares. The need to seek alternative modes of travel or seats on other airlines urgently was resulting in chaos as other airlines were profiteering out of the crisis, he said..
