NEW DELHI: 23rd May: The Delhi High Court has reserved its judgment on a case filed by Turkish company Celebi Airport Services India Pvt Ltd, which challenged the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security’s (BCAS) decision to cancel its security clearance. The clearance was withdrawn citing “national security” reasons. The matter was heard by Justice Sachin Datta, who reserved the order after listening to detailed arguments from both sides on Friday. The next hearing is scheduled for May 24, according to a report by Reuters.
The Delhi High Court will hear Turkish firm Celebi’s plea on May 19 against the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security’s decision to revoke its security clearance, citing national security after Turkey supported Pakistan’s stance against India. This decision impacts Celebi’s operations at Indian airports and raises concerns regarding foreign investments and diplomatic relations.
Turkish firm Celebi has challenged the Indian government’s cancellation of its security clearance in the Delhi High Court, citing national security concerns linked to Turkey’s support for Pakistan. The company argues the decision was sudden and unjustified, significantly impacting its operations in India’s aviation sector amid rising political tensions.
