Sir,
My information is that reports were always prepared even in the case of incidents. They were, for one reason or the other -- probably related to fear of litigation -- were never published.
With the judiciary hyper-active these days, once a petition was filed in two High Courts and accepted for hearing, it was only a matter of time before the authorities would wilt.
I am hopeful that this publication will open up a new era of transparency in the country in the field of civil aviation -- hitherto very much a sealed black-box.
