You can file case at the District consumer dispute redress forum which has a jurisdiction in the area of airport or where your family resides. Actually, your family members who denied shall file case against the Airline for compensation.

Please file in consumer forum for deficiency in service. First send a legal notice to the airline through an advocate. If they don’t respond then file a case. You have a valid ground so first get your evidence together mainly to prove that you did try to check in within the stipulated time and still they denied boarding.

A complaint should be filed at the earliest but not later than TWO YEARS from the date on which the cause of action arose. However the Court may entertain the complaint after a period of 2 years if the complainant is able to satisfy the court that there was sufficient cause for the delay.

Well, if you have already purchased the tickets for the plane and your flight was scheduled and if there are no valid reasons for denying you to board the plane, then you can lodge a complaint against Airline with DGCA or can file a case either in Civil Court or Consumer Forum to seek compensation.
