Under Section 40 of the Bharatiya Vayuyan Adhiniyam, 2024, no suit, prosecution, or other legal proceeding shall lie against any person for anything done, or intended to be done, under the Act, provided that such act was done: 

Section 40 of the Bharatiya Vayuyan Adhiniyam, 2024 provides that no suit, prosecution, or other legal proceeding shall lie against any person for anything done in good faith, or intended to be done, under the Act. This good-faith immunity mirrors the equivalent protective provisions found in numerous other regulatory statutes, such as Section 33 of the Airports Authority of India Act, 1994, and is intended to shield officers, authorities, and other persons exercising statutory functions - such as detaining aircraft under Section 17, issuing directions under Sections 4 and 6, or taking emergency action under Section 15 - from vexatious litigation for bona fide official acts. The protection, however, does not extend to acts done in bad faith, with malicious intent, or wholly outside the scope of authority conferred by the Act.
