The Gauhati High Court has given the Central Haj Committee of India 90 days from March 6 to dispose of two petitions filed by 137 Haj pilgrims from Assam seeking a refund of excess flight fare.
The pilgrims said they had paid for a chartered flight from Guwahati to Jeddah in 2023 but were made to board a normal flight.
They submitted two representations addressed to the chief executive officer of the Central Haj Committee of India on November 22, 2023, seeking refunds but the committee did not respond.
