Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Permanent Lok Adalat for Public Utility Services, which awarded Rs.10,000 as compensation to the respondent due to the cancellation of IndiGo flight No.6E-301. The Court found that the airline had a duty to provide adequate care and compensation to passengers in case of flight cancellations as per the applicable regulations. The appeal by IndiGo Airlines was dismissed, affirming the compensation awarded by the lower court.
