The Court set aside DGCA&#8217;s June 10, 2016 circular according to which private airlines had been allowed to charge Rs 100 per extra kg till 20 kg as against their earlier rates, ranging from Rs 220 to Rs 350.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Bench of\u00a0Vibhu Bakhru, J. \u00a0said the amounts charged by the airlines would be restored if the Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA)
