Supreme Court judge to airfare plea: 'Don't travel by air. Next case'

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a plea alleging a 700% surge in airfares, with Justice Vikram Nath telling counsel, 'Don't travel by air. Next case.' The court did not take up the matter and passed no order. The submission argued that air travel is an essential service and the hike violated Article 14. India's new airfare rules, effective 2027, let market forces set prices with limited government intervention.
