Bombay HC Allows Mumbai Airport to Replace Celebi After Ruling
A court in Mumbai has decided that Mumbai's airport can now choose a new company to handle ground services, ending a temporary hold.
This decision came after another court rejected a challenge from a company called Celebi, whose security clearance was taken away.
The government revoked their security due to worries about national safety, which led to contract cancellations.
Because of the Delhi court's decision, the Mumbai court said it was okay to move forward with choosing a replacement for Celebi.
Bombay High Court lifted the interim order, allowing Mumbai airport to decide on bids.
The court referenced the Delhi High Court's decision rejecting Celebi's security clearance challenge.
Celebi's security clearance was revoked by BCAS due to national security concerns.
The revocation led to contract terminations and legal actions by Celebi subsidiaries.
The Bombay High Court vacated the order, citing the Delhi High Court's stance on the issue.
