India Court Rejects Celebi’s Plea on Loss of Security Clearance

An Indian court rejected Turkish ground handling firm Celebi Hava Servisi AS’s plea against the revoking of its security clearance in India following Turkey’s support of Pakistan during an armed conflict between the South Asian neighbors earlier this year.

The single-judge bench of the Delhi High Court dismissed Celebi’s petition against India’s civil aviation security agency, arguing that it had not been given a fair hearing before the action. A detailed copy of the court judgment highlighting reasons for this dismissal will be available later.
