Turkish based company Celebi Airport Services Private Limited has moved the Delhi High Court challenging the decision of Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) revoking its security clearance in the "interest of national security".
As per a report of Reuters, Celebi in its plea has argued that the decision would impact 3,791 jobs and investor confidence and that the same was issued without any warning to the company.
The Indian government revoked the security clearance of Celebi and its associated companies on grounds related to national security.
The case is likely to be heard next week.
The plea states that mere rhetoric of national security without elaborating upon in what manner is an entity a threat to national security is unsustainable in law.
“The order "fails to disclose any specific or substantive reason except for a vague and general reference to 'national security'... (it) provides no reasons or justification," the plea read.
It further added In that while Celebi's shareholders were registered in Turkey, majority end control of the group is held by companies that do not have Turkish incorporation or origin.
