The Supreme Court on Friday remanded to the Kerala High Court the state government’s petition challenging the AAI proposal to grant the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport’s management rights to the Adani group.
A bench headed by Chief Justice SA Bobde heard the submissions on behalf of the Kerala government and other parties and decided to send the dispute for adjudication back to the high court.
The bench said the contention with regard to applicability of Article 131 will remain open for further hearing if needed.
The Kerala government had moved the high court and then the apex court against the proposal of the Airport Authority of India (AAI) to grant management and operation rights of the airport to the Adani Enterprises Limited for the next 50 years.
