FINAL BLOW to DGCA & MoCA on implementing Commission.

The DELAY IRKS Hon. HIGH COURT OF KERALA
While taking up ‘Contempt of Court’ case at the instance of IAAI, Asst Solicitor General of India representing the DGCA asked for 2 months’ time to respond. The Hon. High Court expressed dismay over inordinate delay in enforcing law by the Statutory Authority and in reporting compliance to the Hon. High Court.

IAAI’s counsel presented before the Court that no visible action has been taken by DGCA to implement DGCA’s own ruling that mandates Airlines to pay Commission to Travel Agents and that the request for more time is an attempt to white wash inaction.

On 25th February 2011, the Hon. Court directed the respondent DGCA & MoCA to ‘execute and implement’ the law within ONE MONTH and to report COMPLIANCE by April 1, 2011. The Hon. Court admitted that no further extension would be granted under any circumstances.

Our pursuit after Commission closes in. End of the tunnel seems to be near. Let us hope and pray for the best.
