The Bombay High Court has vacated its previous order restraining Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) from finalising bids to replace Turkish aviation firm Çelebi Aviation Holding’s subsidiary for ground and bridge handling services at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.
The single-judge Bench of Justice Somasekhar Sundaresan passed the order on Wednesday, taking in consideration a recent verdict of the Delhi High Court, which rejected the Turkish firm’s writ petition challenging the Indian government’s revocation of its security clearance.
Closing the application filed by Çelebi under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, Justice Sundaresan said the continuation of ad interim protection would not be in aid of arbitral proceedings.
The single-judge Bench recorded in its order that a conciliation process was currently underway to settle the matter.
The High Court granted liberty to Çelebi to approach it again for relief, in case the conciliation attempts failed and any other interlocutory application was found necessary to invoke Section 9.
The decision cleared the way for the Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) to go ahead with the process of selecting a new service provider for ground and bridge operations at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.
