The Delhi High Court today sought response of the Centre on a plea seeking CAG audit of accounts of Delhi International Airport Private Limited (DIAL) and Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) for allegedly causing huge financial losses to the government exchequer. A bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal asked the Ministry of Civil Aviation, Airports Authority of India and other authorities to respond by August 24. The court was hearing a plea by advocate Subodh Jain, an RTI activist, who alleged that "owing to Public Partnership Projects (PPP) of Delhi and Mumbai International Airports it has resulted in sharp decline in revenue the AAI received from DIAL despite the buoyancy of airport revenues". Senior advocate Atul Nanda and advocate Keshav Mohan, appearing for the petitioner, urged the court to direct the Centre to constitute a committee to look into the laws governing the audit of all PPP projects in the country and suggest immediate measures to implement such rules to ensure audit of public money.
The petition also referred to the Supreme Court's earlier order allowing CAG to conduct audit of the telecom companies, whose revenues are shared with the government and even of power distribution companies in Delhi in which the government owns a stake.
