New Delhi, May 8 : The Supreme Court on Monday sought replies from the Union government and the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on a plea by a 72-year-old woman, on whom an inebriated passenger allegedly urinated inside a New York-New Delhi Air India flight last November, demanding strict regulations for civil authorities and airlines to deal with incidents of passenger misconduct.

A bench headed by Chief Justice of India Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud gave the Centre and DGCA six weeks to file their affidavits to bring on record the existing standard operating procedure (SOP) and the latest regulations to deal with such incidents.
