New Delhi: The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has sought legal opinion on cancelling the ground handling contracts awarded to Bhadra International at seven of its airports in the country.
“We are taking a legal view on the issue of cancelling the contract awarded to Bhadra International. The decision on the cancellation of contract will be taken on the basis of the legal opinion,” said a top AAI official. He added that the issue of award is also sub judice and they expect the order to come in a week’s time. “Once the court’s order is out, we will be free to initiate actions against the company,” he added.
The process to cancel the contract was initiated after a Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) enquiry had found several irregularities by the employees of AAI in the award of ground handling contracts for the seven airports.
The airports are: Kolkata, Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram, Coimbatore, Kozhikode, Mangalore and Tiruchirappalli.
