A Supreme Court bench comprising Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta will preside over the hearing on July 13. The petition addresses concerns over significant and unpredictable price changes within the domestic civil aviation market.
Social activist S. Laxminarayanan filed the plea, urging the court to establish clear guidelines for airline pricing strategies. The petitioner argues for the creation of an independent and robust regulator to oversee the industry and ensure equitable market practices.
