New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday decided to examine whether fair and transparent procedure had been adopted in allotting modernisation works of the two metro airports, with Anil Ambani Group firm Reliance Airport Developers alleging that there was deviation from the process by lowering of standards.
Contending that lowering of the benchmark from 80 per cent to 50 per cent was totally arbitrary, Reliance questioned the choice given to GMR for adopting the Delhi airport on opening of the financial bid.
Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the Group submitted that despite poor Initial Development Plan (IDP) of GMR for the Delhi airport it was given a choice for the same.
The court was hearing the appeal filed by Reliance challenging the Delhi High Court verdict upholding the government's decision to allot modernisation works of Delhi and Mumbai airports to rival bidders GMR and GVK-led consortia.
