‘Unprecedented threat’: Delhi HC junks Turkish-based Celebi’s plea against revocation of security clearance; cites national security
The Delhi High Court upheld the revocation of Turkey-based Çelebi’s security clearance by the BCAS, citing national security concerns. This decision followed intelligence inputs suggesting Çelebi’s operations posed a risk, particularly given geopolitical tensions. Çelebi, responsible for ground handling at several Indian airports, argued the revocation violated natural justice, but the court sided with the government’s assessment of an ‘unprecedented’ threat.
