Jt.Action Commit.Of Airlines ... vs Director General Of Civil Aviation & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Circular issued by the DGCA on 29.5.2008, which kept the Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) dated 27.7.2007 in abeyance, was valid as the DGCA has the authority to issue executive instructions that can be altered or replaced. The Court found that the appellants' challenge to the revival of AIC 28/92 was unfounded, as the DGCA acted within its competence. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the writ petition was not maintainable due to improper party impleadment.
