"My Son is IndiGo Pilot": Judge Recuses From ₹900 Cr Customs Case

• Indigo Airlines is seeking a ₹900 crore custom duty refund from the Delhi High Court.
• The dispute concerns custom duty levied on aircraft returning to India after mandatory maintenance abroad, which Indigo argues are not re-imports.
• Justice Shail Jain recused herself from the case, stating her son is an Indigo pilot, citing a conflict of interest.
• The case is significant for the aviation sector as it could impact all airlines that send aircraft abroad for maintenance.

Why It Matters: This customs duty dispute could raise costs for all airlines operating in India.
