"Arvind Sharma", a cargo agent for a computer company in India, claimed that he was served 'Chicken Pakoda' on a Malaysian Airlines flight from Bangalore to Kuala Lumpur in March 2003 when he had asked for vegetarian meals......

Malaysian Airline System Bhd has been ordered by a magistrate's court to pay RM 20,000 ( Indian Rs Two Lakh) in aggravated damages to the Brahmin from India for serving him chicken in the flight.

"Being born in a Brahmin family, having been brought up in the Brahmin way of life and being a vegetarian accords him a social status and is addressed with the honorific 'Pundit' in India," the magistrate said adding that Sharma was entitled to self-respect and dignity.
