New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Monday stayed the Directorate General of Civil Aviation's (DGCA) show cause notice to Naveen Jindal-owned Jindal Steel and Power's (JSPL) aircraft charter firm asking it why its permit to operate be not cancelled in view of withdrawal of its security clearance.
Justice V K Shali, while issuing the interim order, also asked the Centre not to take any precipitative action against JSPL's charter firm whose licence to operate was to expire on Monday.
It also sought a response from the Centre on the company's plea and listed the matter for further hearing on January 12.
The judge, while issuing the oral orders, said he will dictate a detailed order later after Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Sanjay Jain said JSPL be directed to reply to DGCA's show cause notice if the company does not want the government to take any decision on its application for renewal of permit to operate.
The court, while granting the interim relief to JSPL, observed the company's non-schedule operator permit (NSOP) was being renewed every two years since 2008 and "heavens will not fall" if it is allowed to continue for a few more days.
Mr Jain said the show cause notice was issued on December 16 in view of the Union Home Ministry's December 4 decision to withdraw the security clearance given to the company.
