India's Supreme Court strongly criticized the aviation authorities' handling of the aftermath of the fatal Air India plane crash in June.
The crash, with a tragic loss of 261 lives and only one survivor, led to intense scrutiny of the investigation's initial stages.
The court condemned the premature leaking of information suggesting pilot error, calling it irresponsible and demanding government action.
This prompted lawsuits from victims' families against Boeing and Honeywell, alleging negligence related to aircraft design and safety.
