Iraqi National Sues Qatar Airways Company QSCS For Compensatory Damage Of 50 Million USD
Advocate Karan S.Thukral, on behalf of his client who hails from the Republic of Iraq has issued a strong-worded Legal Notice to Qatar Airways Company for compensatory and punitive damages amounting to 50 million US Dollars (US$ 50,000,000.00 equaling to INR 370,00,00,000.00).
The Office informed that the Iraq citizen namely, Mrs.Rajaa Al Yaseen alleges and states to often travel back and forth from Iraq to India along with her husband who was undergoing an oncology treatment at a renowned medical institution in India. On her date of scheduled return to her home country, she was disallowed to board her flight with the Airlines, 'Qatar Airways Company Q.C.S.C.' despite carrying a valid 'Fit to Fly' report issued by the medical institution taking care of her husband's treatment.
Throughout the episode, the medically incapacitated patient and his wife were stranded at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi alone with no assistance. In the Legal Notice, the Iraqi citizen further alleges that the uncalled for exigency exposed her to an unwarranted trouble and more so to her debilitated husband who was already anguishing with a perilous disease. The incident was followed by the patient soon passing away in Iraq after a few days.
Karan S.Thukral's Office informed that the cause of action arose in New Delhi, India where the entire occurrence took place. The aggrieved Iraqi Citizen in her personal capacity initially approached the airline company for a plain apology which was reverted back with an adamant and reluctant response rendering origin to the present action against them.
The calculation behind such a gargantuan claim vests in factors that are unascertainable in monetary figures but are based upon international standards followed by foreign Courts for grant of compensation keeping into account that the claimant is from Iraq and the company is also internationally based.
The Law Office informed that the Iraq claimant has preferred to assert such damages based upon her husband's sufferance, mental trauma, agony, humiliation, conscious pain and mortification, affecting her loss of companionship and also trauma suffered by the entire family learning about the ordeal which her deceased husband agonised in a foreign country.
