The top court was responding to a public interest litigation filed by NGO Safety Matters Foundation, marking its first examination of the probe being carried out by Indian authorities into the incident.
“The investigation necessarily involves a critical examination of DGCA’s own regulatory actions and possible lapses,“ the NGO’s plea said.
A preliminary investigation report released earlier by the Indian government showed pilot confusion in the cockpit shortly before the crash after the plane's fuel engine switches had almost simultaneously flipped from run to cutoff just after takeoff.
“Three of the members are the serving officers of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (flight safety regulator), which creates a very serious conflict of interest,“ the NGO’s lawyer Prashant Bhushan told the judges.
The case comes just days after a separate case was filed in the United States by families of four passengers against Boeing and Honeywell, which made the switches - REUTERS
