The Supreme Court has issued instructions to the Central Government regarding the huge increase in air fares during festivals and holidays. The court directed to file a copy of the rules made to regulate air fares. For this the court has given two weeks time to the central government.
On Monday, the Central Government told the Supreme Court that rules to regulate air fares have been prepared. These rules are expected to be presented before both houses of Parliament within 30 days.
Supreme Court gave instructions
After this, the Supreme Court directed that a copy of the rules be placed before it within two weeks. The next hearing of the case will be on August 3. This case was heard by the bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta. The petition sought guidelines to control unexpected fluctuations in airfares.
Petition related to consumer rights and pricing
The common consumer remains troubled due to arbitrary fares and additional charges levied by airlines in air travel. But due to lack of any specific guidelines in this direction, he is helpless. In such a situation, this petition has been filed in the Supreme Court against this arbitrary attitude of the airlines companies. The petitioner says that private airlines in India are charging higher fares from passengers by adopting dynamic pricing without adequate regulation, which is affecting the rights of consumers.
