Though our sympathies are with the families of all passengers who unfortunately perished in the Mangalore air crash, the judgment delivered by the Hon'ble Ernakalum High Court seems to be unreasonable and a misinterpretation of the law on the subject!
Would the families of the deceased passengers actually get their due in the view of the statement made by the Min for Civil aviation that the government has decided not to challenge the order of the Ernakulam HC directing Air India to make payment of 75 lakhs each to the families of the passengers who perished in the ill-fated crash at the Bajpei Airport, Mangalore on 22-05-10? The answer remains a mystery till such time as payment is actually disbursed!
Why would the government not want to exercise its right to challenge the order of the Ernakulam High Court directing Air India to make payment of Rs.75 lakhs each to the families of the passengers who perished in the ill-fated crash at the Bajpei Airport, Mangalore on the 22nd May 2010?? If the government actually thought that the families were legally entitled to the Rs. 75 lakhs compensation, the payment could have been made as early as June-July 2010. The government/Air India needn't have waited for a case to be filed....!!!!!
