New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Thursday said that it will constitute a special bench to hear the plea of BJP leader Subramanian Swamy and Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA) seeking a stay on the commencement of operations of two new aviation ventures, namely, AirAsia and Tata-SIA Airlines.
The special bench constituted by the High Court will hear the matter on July 11.
Earlier in April, the Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA) had moved the court against the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) and the aviation ministry approvals granted to the new airline joint venture between the the Tata Group and Singapore Airlines called Tata-SIA.
FIA is an airlines lobby group that represents Jet Airways, GoAir, SpiceJet, IndiGo and Kingfisher Airlines, which had earlier filed a petition in the Delhi High Court against the approvals granted to AirAsia as well.
The High Court on April 23 has allowed Swamy's plea seeking to implead DGCA as a party to a PIL seeking quashing of approvals being granted by the Centre to operationalise the USD 30 million deal between Tata Sons and Malaysia-based AirAsia.
