The Delhi High Court Friday said it would hear in March a plea by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy seeking interim stay on AirAsia India’s application for a licence to fly internationally. Swamy has also filed another application seeking to know the status of the investigation conducted by the CBI in a case relating to alleged lobbying by AirAsia India while trying to get international flying licence by manipulating policies and violation of foreign investment norms.
A bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice V K Rao said it would hear the matter on March 29, by when the respondents, including the Centre and AirAsia, can file their objections to both the applications. In the first plea, Swamy sought a stay on the application filed by AirAsia India seeking an international permissions/ licence to fly internationally.
