No to CVC probe into Air India's aircraft purchase deal: Delhi HC

The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to pass any order on a plea for a CVC probe into Air India's fleet expansion programme and its order to purchase 111 planes at a whopping Rs67,000 crore, saying that the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament is already looking into it.
The court, rejected the plea for CVC probe, expecting that the PAC would investigate the matter "from from all angles" and expeditiously.
"A responsible committee like PAC is looking into the matter and we are not giving any direction at this stage but expect the PAC to look into the matter from all angles...," said the bench of Acting Chief Justice AK Sikri and Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw.
The bench gave its order, accepting the Centre's argument that PAC would submit a report soon after examining the matter on the plea, filed in 2010 for probe into the purchase deal.
