India, Nov. 7 -- Supreme Court on Friday told the father of the deceased pilot who was flying the Air India plane that crashed on June 12 that none of the 1.2 billion Indians believe there was any fault with the pilot.

The court also agreed to take up the petition seeking an independent probe along with a pending plea by a NGO Safety Matters next week and sought replies of the Centre and DGCA on plea of the pilot's father for independent probe.

More details will be added soon.
