NEW DELHI: Rejecting an attempt by SpiceJet and its promoter Ajay Singh to cite the ongoing West Asia crisis as a ground to seek review of an earlier court order to deposit Rs 144 crore in connection with its legal dispute with media baron Kalanithi Maran and Kal Airways, Delhi high court Monday dismissed the plea.The Delhi HC also imposed a cost of Rs 50,000 on the airline and Singh for disobeying orders of the Supreme Court to deposit the amount. Justice Subramonium Prasad noted that “At the very outset, this Court cannot lose sight that the breakout of hostilities in West Asia is an event that has occurred in Feb 2026, while the apex court directed the arbitral award to become executable way back on 07.07.2023….this Court is of the opinion that the Review Petitioners are now attempting to take advantage of an event that has taken place more than two years after the passing of the SC order… which cannot be permitted in any manner whatsoever. The Review Petitioners are constantly disobeying the orders of the apex court.”SpiceJet and Singh had argued due to the West Asia conflict all flights stood suspended and that the airline is optimistic about obtaining financial support from Indian govt in view of the unprecedented hardship being faced by aviation sector.
