The petitioner was represented by Senior Advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan.
The petitioner stated that the DGCA failed to treat the petitioner with care and responsibility after an unruly passenger urinated on her following excessive alcohol consumption.
The plea highlighted seven instances of passenger misconduct on board from 2014 to 2023, which were not dealt with properly by the concerned airline.
The petition also highlighted that on March 4, 2023, a similar incident occurred when a passenger, in an inebriated state, urinated on an American Airlines flight from New York to New Delhi. The flight operator informed Air Traffic Control, which then alerted the Central Industrial Security Force, leading to the arrest of the individual upon disembarking.
