The Centre on Monday told the Supreme Court that the Ministry of Civil Aviation was actively considering the issues raised in a PIL which sought regulatory guidelines to control the unpredictable fluctuations in airfare and ancillary charges imposed by private airlines in India.
A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta, which termed the issue as “serious”, granted four weeks to the Centre for the conclusion of the deliberations on the issue flagged in the public interest litigation (PIL).
“This is a very serious concern. Otherwise, we don’t entertain 32 petitions,” the bench said.
Appearing for the Centre, Additional Solicitor General Anil Kaushik said that they need at least three weeks to file their response on the PIL as the concerned ministry is actively considering the issues raised in the petition.
The bench, which recorded that the issues have been taken note by the ministry, posted the matter for further hearing on March 23.
