division bench of the Delhi High Court on Monday upheld its single judge’s order asking SpiceJet to return two aircraft and three engines to its lessor TWC Aviation.
While dismissing the airline’s appeal as withdrawn, a bench led by Justice Rajiv Shakhder granted the low cost carrier three weeks time till June 17 to return the aircraft and engines along with technical records. The single judge had asked SpiceJet to return the engines by May 28.
The HC noted SpiceJet’s sr counsel Amit Sibal’s argument that he wants to advance his submission related to the jurisdiction issue before the single judge, but that will not come in the way of returning the engines.
He said that he had spoken to the CEO himself who wanted a reasonable time to arrange and replace the engines.
More to come.
