HC notice to Centre on Swamy’s plea to stay AirAsia operations

The Centre was today directed by the Delhi High Court to respond to a plea filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy seeking to restrain the government from granting any approval for investment by a foreign airline in a greenfield airline project like AirAsia.

A bench of Chief Justice N V Ramana and Justice Manmohan issued notice to Civil Aviation Ministry, DGCA and others and sought their response by October 30.
