HC refuses to stay AAI's recruitment drive

New Delhi: The Airport Authority of India can continue its drive for recruitment of manager-level officers as the Delhi High Court has rejected a plea by its officer's association to stay the process alleged to be in violation of the legal procedures.
A bench comprising Chief Justice A P Shah and Justice S Muralidhar in it's interim order turned down the plea of Officer's Association of AAI but made it clear that all recruitments would be subject to the final outcome of the petition pending in court.
The association contended that the Authority without the prior approval of the Central Government is conducting recruitment and implementing promotional policies which is against the law.
"Promotional policies are not being governed by any regulation in a highly discriminatory manner and it needs to be stopped," advocate Arvind Sharma, appearing for the Association contended.
The Bench, however was not satisfied with his contention and observed that any interim stay on the recruitment of employee would affect working of the organisation. The Bench was hearing a petition filed by the association challenging a single bench order which had refused to stay the recruitment proceeding.
It found no fault in the order passed by the single judge and refused to interfere in it.
