Bombay HC allows Mumbai airport to terminate Turkish ground operator Celebi's contract
The Bombay High Court has on July 23 in effect allowed Mumbai International Airport (MIAL) to terminate services of Turkish ground-handling company Celebi and The Bombay High Court on Wednesday set aside its earlier interim order restraining the Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) from finalising tenders for ground and bridge handling services post termination of Turkish firm Celebi's contract. A bench of Justice Somasekhar Sundaresan said the interim protection granted in May cannot be continued as the Delhi HC earlier this month dismissed Celebi's petition against similar contract termination of the Delhi airport and revocation of security clearance. 'It is now clear that holding up the decision of finding a replacement is not possible and tenable. Continuation of the ad-interim order is no longer reasonable and hence stands vacated,' the court said. It added that post revocation of security clearance, all employees and equipment of the petitioner firm have been placed under the control of another company, Indo Thai Airport Services Ltd, which is now carrying out the ground handling and bridge mounting services at the Mumbai airport. 'The petitioner firm has lost all physical access to the airport,' the court said. The HC said that as per the contract agreement, conciliation efforts are underway between the parties concerned and disposed of the petitions filed by Celebi. Amid the backlash in India over Turkiye's support to Pakistan during 'Operation Sindoor', India's aviation security regulator BCAS (Bureau of Civil Aviation Security) had revoked the security clearance of Celebi Airport Services India on grounds related to national security. The company had moved the high court against the revocation of its security clearance and subsequent termination of its contract with MIAL. The firm's petition challenging revocation of security clearance is pending before a division bench of the Bombay HC and is likely to be taken up for hearing on Thursday. Celebi holds 59 per cent stake in Celebi Nas Airport Services India Private Limited. The petition sought suspension and annulment of the administrative decision of security clearance cancellation granted by BCAS under the Ministry of Civil Aviation of India. It also sought annulment of terminations of the Bridge Mounted Equipment Service Agreement and the Concession Agreement, and Ground Handling Services by MIAL. By way of interim relief, Celebi had sought HC to restrain MIAL from taking any final decision on the tenders issued on May 17 for the selection of a new ground handling agency for these services. On May 26, a vacation bench had passed an interim order restraining MIAL from taking its final decision on the tenders. The Delhi HC, while dismissing Celebi's plea against the security clearance revocation, noted that there were 'compelling national security considerations involved', which 'impelled' the Centre to revoke the clearance, with 'impelling geo-political considerations' at play.

Adani Shares in Focus: Relief for Adani, MIAL as Bombay HC lifts stay on ground handling tender
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on July 23, 2025, 12:21 IST The Bombay High Court today lifted the stay on Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) from finalising a new ground handling service provider to replace Celebi, providing relief to the Adani Group, which operates the airport. In May, the court had granted interim relief to Celebi, restraining MIAL from appointing a replacement. However, the HC today revoked that protection, observing that holding up MIAL from finalising the tender was 'not tenable.' This development paves the way for MIAL to proceed with awarding the contract to a new service provider. Shares of Adani Group companies were in focus today following the order. As of 12:14 PM, Adani Green Energy was up over 2%, while Adani Enterprises and Adani Total Gas gained nearly 1% each on the NSE. Other group stocks like Adani Energy Solutions, Adani Ports, and Ambuja Cement traded with mixed trends. Market participants are closely watching further developments at MIAL, which is a key part of the Adani Group's infrastructure portfolio.

Delhi HC reserves order on Celebi's plea over revoked security clearance
The Delhi high court on Friday reserved its order on a plea filed by another Turkish-based Celebi company, namely Celebi Ground Handling India Private Limited, against Centre's decision to revoke its security clearance. A different bench of the high court on July 7 dismissed the pleas by Turkish-based firms -- Celebi Airport Services India Pvt Ltd and Celebi Delhi Cargo Terminal Management India Pvt Ltd -- challenging the revocation of their security clearance by aviation watchdog Bureau of Civil Aviation Safety (BCAS) on May 15, saying there are "compelling national security considerations" involved. Justice Tejas Karia on Friday reserved the order after company's lawyer submitted that the petition was filed on July 4 after a coordinate bench reserved its judgement in a similar case involving the associated companies. The counsel said on Friday that the July 7 verdict directly applied to the present case as well, and urged the judge to pass a similar order. BCAS revoked the security clearance, days after Turkey backed Pakistan and condemned India's strikes on terror camps in the neighbouring country. The court on July 7 underlined the necessity to eliminate the possibility of espionage or dual use of logistics capabilities which would be highly detrimental to the security of the country, especially in the event of an external conflict.
