Deregistration Of Planes Of Go First Aircraft: Delhi High Court Lists Case For Hearing Today

The Delhi High Court in a case relating to the deregistration of the planes of the Go First Aircraft has yesterday listed the matter for the next hearing today i.e., June 1, 2023.

A Single Bench of Justice Tara Vitasta Ganju observed, “Mr. Ramji Srinivasan, Senior Counsel, has concluded his arguments, on behalf of the Interim Resolution Professional in W.P.(C) 6569/2023 and W.P.(C) 6626/2023. … We have heard Ms. Anjana Gosain, Senior Panel Counsel, appearing on behalf of Union of India / Directorate General of Civil Aviation.”

Senior Advocates Satvik Varma, Dayan Krishnan, and Mukul Rohatgi appeared on behalf of the petitioners while SPC Anjana Gosain, CGSC Rajesh Gogna, Senior Advocates Harish N. Salve, Ramji Srinivasan and Sandeep Sethi appeared on behalf of the respondents.

In this case, many aircraft lessors of Go First prayed before the Court for the deregistration of their planes by the aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) so that they could take them back from the crisis-hit airline. The said lessors submitted that denial of deregistration by the DGCA is illegitimate in nature.

The High Court had earlier directed the counsel for the parties to file their respective written synopsis not exceeding three pages each along with compilations of judgments, if any.

“List the matter for further arguments on 01.06.2023 at 03:00 PM”, the Court said yesterday.
