Union Of India vs Shankar Lal Soni & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of conditions imposed by airlines and railways on concessional tickets for senior citizens, specifically criticizing the requirements of advance booking and minimum stay. The Court held that such conditions were unreasonable and directed the airlines and railways to provide concessions without these restrictions. The judgment also included directives for improving railway safety based on a public interest concern, thereby reinforcing the rights of senior citizens in accessing travel concessions.
