Budget carrier SpiceJet and its owner Ajay Singh have moved the Delhi High Court against its single judge's order directing the airline to deposit Rs 579 crore within 12 months in connection with a share transfer dispute with the previous airline owner Kalanithi Maran. The single judge's order had come on a plea of Sun Group chief Kalanithi Maran, along with his Kal Airways, for issuance of stock warrants in SpiceJet to them as per a sale purchase agreement (SPA) of 2015 which led to transfer of ownership of the budget carrier to its co-founder Ajay Singh. A bench of Justices Pradeep Nandrajog and Jayant Nath, before which the matter was listed today, merely ordered that the pleas of SpiceJet and Ajay Singh be taken up by the appropriate bench on August 8. Maran and his airline had alleged before the single judge that despite giving Rs 579 crore to SpiceJet, the carrier had failed to issue them the warrants or allot tranche 1 and 2 of Convertible Redeemable Preference Shares and that the amount was not utilised for paying statutory dues due to which they were also facing prosecution. Apart from ordering deposition of the amount in the court, Justice Manmohan Singh had also asked Spicejet and Maran to appoint an arbitral tribunal to decide the share transfer dispute between them in a year.
