The Supreme Court refused to interfere with the Delhi High Court’s order directing SpiceJet and Ajay Singh to deposit Rs 144.51 crore in the long-running dispute with Kalanithi Maran and KAL Airways.
The Court also imposed Rs 1 lakh costs on Singh for repeatedly pursuing the litigation despite earlier directions.
The Delhi High Court has requested responses from the Central Government and the Boxing Federation of India regarding a petition by Anurag Thakur and the Himachal Pradesh Boxing Association about election disputes. Scheduled for an August hearing, this case, alongside a similar petition, highlights governance challenges in Indian sports and may influence future election conduct.
Today, On 16th May, The Delhi High Court approved SpiceJet’s appeal, overturning a previous order to refund Rs. 270 crore to Kalanithi Maran. This marks a legal victory for SpiceJet in the long-standing dispute with Maran. The court upheld an Arbitral Award, overturning the previous order and setting aside the refund directive. This decision is significant for the airline.
