New Delhi: The Delhi High Court today directed the Centre to respond to a plea filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy seeking quashing of permission given to AirAsia for its operation in India.
The court, however, declined to stay the permission given by the government for the deal and said it was only issuing notices as of now.
The bench of Chief Justice N.V Ramana and Justice Pradeep Nandrajog issued notices to the Centre, Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) and Commerce and Civil Aviation ministries and sought their responses by October 30.
It asked the government to “file an affidavit explaining the government’s policy on the issue”.
In April, the FIPB gave clearance to the $30 million deal between Malaysia-based AirAsia and Tata Sons.
