Setback for Kerala government

Dismissal of its petition against the Union government’s decision to lease Thiruvananthapuram international airport to Adani Enterprises by the Kerala High Court on Monday turned out to be a major setback for the Kerala government.

The major verdict was delivered by the HC division bench of Justices K Vinod Chandran and C S Dias. The court dismissed the arguments of the state government and observed that the decision to lease out the airport is Centre’s policy decision.
