A bench of Acting Chief Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Sachin Datta directed DGCA to ensure norms are followed and DGCA should take strict action against passengers and others who violate masking and hygiene norms.

The court also noted the submission of counsel for DGCA that it has seriously implemented norms regarding the wearing of masks at airports and in aircraft.
