The Supreme Court refused to urgently list a plea alleging a nearly 700% increase in airfares, telling the petitioner "Don't travel by air." The bench, including Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta, and Aparesh Kumar Singh, heard arguments that air travel is an essential service and that the hike violates Article 14 of the Constitution. The court is also hearing another petition seeking stronger aviation regulation and transparency.
