The Supreme Court has expressed displeasure at highlighting the pilot’s mistake for the accident by publishing a select part of the investigation report of Ahmedabad Air Plain Crash on Monday (September 22, 2025). The court has made this comment on the PIL that has demanded a fair inquiry into the accident. The petitioner says that only a select part of the initial investigation report was released. Ignoring technical and machine deficiencies, only the mistake of the pilot was brought out. The court has said that the investigation is not yet complete, so it is important that complete privacy is maintained.

On June 12, the Air India aircraft going from Ahmedabad to London crashed shortly after taking off. In this accident, all 241 people except a passenger were killed and the aircraft fell on the mess of a medical college, due to which 19 more people were killed. The aircraft had 169 Indians, 52 British, 7 Portuguese, 1 Canadian and 12 members of the crew. The only person to survive in this accident is Vishkumar Ramesh, who is a British citizen.

According to the NDTV report, the investigation report mentions the conversation of the aircraft pilots Captain Sumit Sabarwal and Cleve Kunder. The report told that in the audio of the cockpit, it was heard that a pilot said, ,Why fuel cut-off, The second pilot says in response, ,I did not do, The report said that it seems that this incident happened due to the mistake of the pilot.

A PIL has been filed in the court demanding an independent, fair and quick investigation of the crash of the Air India aircraft. The Supreme Court, while hearing, said that some aspects that indicate the mistake of the pilot in the preliminary report of the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) are irresponsible. The court has issued a notice to the Center and the Director General of Civil Aviation in this case. However, the court has refused to accept the demand of the petitioner to make the report public. The court said that suppose the report on yesterday said that if one of the pilots was responsible for the accident, then there will be trouble in front of their family.

Justice Suryakant and Justice N. The bench of Kotishwar Singh noticed some aspects of the initial report of AAIB released on July 12. Senior Advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for the non-governmental organization Safety Matters Foundation, alleged that three members in the inquiry committee formed after the accident were from the aviation regulator and may be feared to be a conflict of interest.

He requested to release information about the flight data recorder of the aircraft so that the causes of the accident could be known. The bench said that in this case there are aspects related to privacy, privacy and dignity, so the final report should be noted. The Supreme Court warned that by issuing some special information, other airlines can take advantage of wrong. The court also said that they are issuing notices only on the limited aspect of independent, fair and quick investigation of the accident.

The petition has been filed by the Aviation Safety NGO Constitution by Safety Matters Foundation, headed by Captain Amit Singh, alleging that the official investigation violates the fundamental rights of reaching the lives, equality and real information of the citizens. The petition said that the AAIB in its preliminary report on July 12 has told the fuel cutoff switch to be converted from a run -off position, indicating that it was the pilot’s fault.

It alleges that the report has hidden important information in the report, including full digital flight data recorder output, cockpit voice recorder transcript and electronic aircraft fault recording data. According to the petition, a transparent and fair understanding of the accident is not possible without these information.
