Additionally, it directed the Aircraft Act authority to consider whether a complaint should be filed regarding the incident. This decision was significant in safeguarding the legal process from political interference. The Court’s decision highlighted the importance of basing legal action on evidence rather than extraneous factors. It reinforced the principle that FIRs should be filed based on facts and not for political or personal motives.
