The Supreme Court has not stayed the suo motu order of the Meghalaya High Court requiring the concerned authorities and the airliners to take a final decision on the dates on which the flights will start operating from the Umroi airport.
Court has only stayed the portion of the high court order which required personal appearance of Aviation officials and officers of Airline carriers, in case of non-compliance with its order.
The high court had, on December 7, directed the Secretary, Ministry of Civil Aviation to convene a meeting of all the responsible officers and take a decision on the date from which the airport will start functioning.
The bench comprising Chief Justice Mohammad Yaqoob Mir and Justice SR Sen had further made it clear that in case of failure in taking a decision, the Secretary of Ministry of Civil Aviation, Chairman, Airports Authority of India and CEOs/CMDs of the respective airliners will have to remain personally present in court. In its order, the high court had noted with “amusement” the submissions of the airliners, which it said were in absolutely different directions. It had then clarified that the Ministry of Civil Aviation, which in effect is the regulating authority, has the power to take action against the erring airliners.
