Aviation scam: SC stays HC order allowing Aditya Tawlar to appear through lawyer
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court Monday stayed a Delhi High Court order allowing Antigua-based Aditya Talwar, son of corporate lobbyist Deepak Talwar, to appear through his counsel before a trial court in a money laundering case related to allegedly influencing government decisions to favour foreign airlines, causing losses to Air India. Aditya Talwar, who is yet to join the probe, has been accused by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) of allegedly receiving Rs 272 crore in kick backs through his firms — Asiafield and Gilt Asset Management — in the case involving his father.
The national carrier was allegedly made to give up profit making routes and timings for offshore airlines of UAE and Qatar, ED said in its plea against the high court order which, on May 30, allowed Aditya appear via his lawyer.
