The Supreme Court on Monday said certain aspects of the AAIB preliminary report on the June 12 Air India crash indicating lapses on the part of pilots were "irresponsible", and issued notices to the Centre and the Director General of Civil Aviation on a plea seeking an independent, fair and expeditious probe.
A bench of Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh took note of certain aspects of the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) preliminary report issued on July 12.
Advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for the NGO `Safety Matters Foundation`, alleged that in the probe panel constituted after the crash, three members were from the aviation regulator and there may be an issue of conflict of interest involved.
He sought release of the information from the flight data recorder of the airplane that would clear the air over the cause of the accident.
