The Supreme Court heard that Captain Sumeet Sabharwal has not been blamed in the preliminary AAIB report on the Air India Boeing 787-8 crash that killed 260 people on June 12. The deceased pilot's father and aviation groups are seeking an independent court-monitored inquiry amid concerns about investigation protocols and aircraft safety, while the Solicitor General emphasized that the inquiry aims to determine causes rather than assign blame.
