IN DELHI HIGH COURT

- OUR CORRESPONDENT

NEW DELHI: The Centre on Monday opposed in the Delhi High Court pleas of Turkish company Celebi Airport Services India Pvt Ltd and another firm against the decision of aviation watchdog BCAS revoking its security clearance.

Appearing before Justice Sachin Datta, Centre's Solicitor General Tushar Mehta argued the decision was taken in the interest of national security in light of certain inputs that continuing the services of the petitioner companies would be hazardous in the current scenario.

The security clearance of the firms was revoked by Bureau of Civil Aviation Safety (BCAS) on May 15, days after Turkey-backed Pakistan and condemned India's strikes on terror camps in the neighbouring country.

Celebi Airport Services India Pvt Ltd and Celebi Delhi Cargo Terminal Management India Pvt Ltd were overseeing ground handling and cargo terminal functions, respectively.

"I am saying that it is a national security issue and the order (revoking clearance) reflects the same," Mehta said.
