The Delhi High Court rejected Kalanithi Maran’s plea against SpiceJet, criticising him for taking a ‘calculated gamble’ in the dispute with Ajay Singh over the airline’s control, arising from a commercial disagreement involving KAL Airways.
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.
