Mumbai: In a relief to a 61-year-old pilot, the Bombay High Court has quashed a 2011 DGCA order suspending his license, noting the order was "illegal and unsustainable" as it violated the principles of natural justice by not granting him a hearing.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), on March 12, 2011, suspended Jeetendra Krishna Varma's Airline Transport Pilot License, considered the highest level of pilot license, after an FIR was lodged against him in Delhi for allegedly procuring the license based on forged documents.
