SC notice to Centre, AAI on airport development fee

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today issued a notice to the Centre and others asking them to explain why they should be allowed to charge the development fee at the Mumbai airport from passengers.
However, the Court refused to stay the order of the Delhi High Court that upheld such levy, saying "we are not inclined to stay it... No airport could be developed if they don't have funds."
A Bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan isued the notice to the Ministry of Civil Aviation, Airports Authority of India (AAI) and the Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) on a petition filed by consumer organisation Consumer Online Foundation.
