Stop Dumping Excreta During Flights, Indian Court Tells Airlines

An Indian green [URL="http://www.greentribunal.gov.in/"]court[/URL] ordered the country’s aviation safety regulator to ensure planes don’t dump human waste during flights, ruling on a plea by a New Delhi resident who claimed his neighborhood had to endure excreta that fell from the skies.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation, the safety regulator, should conduct surprise checks on aircraft when they land to ensure their human-waste containers aren’t empty, a three-member panel headed by [URL="http://www.greentribunal.gov.in/chairperson.aspx"]Swatanter Kuma[/URL]r, chairman of the National Green Tribunal said in an order.
Satwant Singh Dahiya, a resident near New Delhi’s airport, filed a case in October saying houses in his neighborhood were damaged by feces dumped by airlines at night. In another incident, a 60-year-old woman [URL="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bhopal/Stink-from-the-blue-Plane-poop-hurts-woman-on-ground/articleshow/50476552.cms"]suffered[/URL] a shoulder injury in December last year probably caused by human excreta falling from the skies, the Times of India newspaper reported.
Airlines will have to pay 50,000 rupees ($735) every time their human waste tanks are found empty on landing, and the DGCA must maintain a helpline to take complaints on falling excreta, the tribunal said.

What is with India and having constant issues with shit. Really
The system is supposed to grind all that shit into a pulp, mix it with anti-bacterial foam and spray it out the plane as a fine spray. This so it will just rain down.
If the system is not properly maintained, it can create poop icicles that break off once the plane descends to lower altitudes.

I'm pretty sure airliners don't have a function that allows them to just dump waste mid-flight like that, the tanks are meant to be emptied on the ground.
Reading through the article it looks more to me like it's maintenance issues resulting in leaky waste tanks than deliberate dumping.

IIRC it's actually more the problem of the remnants of the cast system.

99% of them don't; airliners aren't legally allowed to, and planes only remove waste when at a terminal and the sewage is taken to waste treatment. It's still raw sewage.
Obviously, there may be a few isolated cases in developing nations (like India), where this is legal or illegal and not regulated/enforced very well, and the planes used are modified or forced to pump sewage pre-landing; this is probably incredibly uncommon though and leakage is far more probable, considering dumping mid-flight has no benefits over pumping the waste at landing. It likely wouldn't be sterilized or anywhere close though.
Every time i hear poo and India it just reminds of this:

There are a *lot* of us, some of us on Reddit, why, some of us are even here on Facepunch, like Zonesylvania and I (also archangel, but I believe he's a Canadian).
We are everywhere.
Just....pray we don't come to a social network that you're currently on, because you really need to brace yourself for the eternal September of immaturity that will inevitably happen. Go look [URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/indianpeoplefacebook"]r/indianpeoplefacebook[/URL] for an idea of what I'm talking about.

And there used to be streets in England called Gropecunt lane, as well - the etymology is exactly what you'd think, too.
[URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gropecunt_Lane"]They really didn't fuck around with the naming back then.[/URL] :v:
