The Delhi consumer court ordered domestic airline Jet Airways to pay passenger Bimal Naulakha 10,000 rupees ($215) in damages. Naulakha, eating from a dish labelled vegetarian, had expected a lunch of rice and lentils. Instead, he found himself staring at a bone. Naulakha suffered mental scars over the discovery, the court in its recent ruling said. Jet Airways did not return phone calls on Thursday seeking comment on the case reported in India‘s media. The court transcript said Jet Airways offered Naulakha a vegetarian meal and a one-way free ticket but he wanted 25,000 rupees to restore his peace of mind. „The complainant was sentimentally disturbed,“ the court documents said. The court ordered the airline to pay 10,000 rupees in compensation and 2,500 rupees in costs.
