They alleged that the members of the inquiry board were responsible for the crash.
The counsel of the petitioners said that the inquiry board’s report should be made public.
Justice Khan accepted the plea and issued notices to the federation, interior ministry, Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), Inspector General of Police (IG) Islamabad and Capital Development Authority (CDA) and sought replies.
