010332 Vegetarian Gets $215 for Bone in MealMarch 10, 2001New Delhi - A strict vegetarian has won a two-year court battle against a private Indian airline, saying he suffered intense anguish after he found a chicken bone in his meal. The Delhi consumer court ordered domestic airline Jet Airways to pay passenger Bimal Naulakha $215 in damages. Naulakha, eating from a dish labeled vegetarian, had expected a lunch of rice and lentils. Instead, he found himself staring at a bone. Naulakha suffered emotional scars over the discovery, the court said in its recent ruling. Jet Airways did not return phone calls Thursday seeking comment on the case reported in India's media.
