Supreme Court upholds dismissal of charges against BJP MPs over pressured airport takeoff.

The Supreme Court has upheld the dismissal of charges against BJP MPs Nishikant Dubey and Manoj Tiwari, who were accused of forcing air traffic control personnel to clear their flight for takeoff after sunset at Deoghar airport in 2022. The court allowed the Jharkhand government to submit investigative material to a designated officer under the Aircraft Act within four weeks, who will decide if a complaint should be filed. The high court had previously dismissed the case due to a lack of necessary prior sanction from the Lok Sabha Secretariat.
