SC fines SpiceJet for offloading disabled flyer
The Supreme Court on Thursday directed airliner SpiceJet to pay ₹10 lakh as damages to a flyer, who was suffering from cerebral palsy and forcibly offloaded from a flight in 2012. The court said, "Abruptly and without any justification, a decision was taken to de-board her without ascertaining as to whether her condition... prevented her from flying. "
