Delhi HC nod to DGCA to take over groundhandling at airports

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday allowed the Directorate General of Civil Aviation to go ahead with its decision take over ground handling services from private airlines at airports across the country.
Dismissing a petition filed by private airlines challenging the DGCA's decision, a division bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justice Manmohan said the alteration in the DGCA's rule was not unjust and illegal.
"We perceive no merit in the writ petition and accordingly the writ petition and all the interim applications stand dismissed," the court said.
Accepting the centre's argument that the decision was taken on security reasons as the safety and security of general public is paramount, the court rejected the contention of the airlines that security facet has been introduced to curtail their commercial interests.
