New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday asked the Centre as to why
it has not decided since March 2012 on a plea by Kingfisher Airlines for
security clearance to appoint advocate Lalit Bhasin as a director.
"Why is the application pending?" a bench of Justice Vibhu Bakhru asked the Civil Aviation Ministry and listed the matter for hearing on August 5 after the government counsel sought time to seek instructions.
"Come back with instructions," the court said.
Kingfisher, in its plea, has sought that its application for giving security clearance to Mr Bhasin be "forthwith considered and decided" so that he can be appointed as a director of the grounded airline.
Currently it has only one director - Vijay Mallya - and as per law, it is required to have a minimum two on its board, the airline has said.
