The Supreme Court declined an immediate hearing on a petition alleging a nearly 700% increase in airfares. The petitioner's lawyer argued that air travel is an essential service and the hike violates Article 14 of the Constitution. The bench, including Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta, and Apresh Kumar Singh, remarked, "Do not travel by air." The court is already hearing another petition on arbitrary airfare hikes, while the government is drafting new regulations.
