New Delhi : The Delhi High Court Tuesday reserved its verdict on a plea of Global Vectra Helicorp, the aviation arm of the Ravi Rishi-led Vectra Group, challenging the aviation regulator’s decision to suspend its permit to fly choppers.
Justice Vipin Sanghi reserved the verdict after counsel appearing for Global Vectra, Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and the union home ministry concluded their arguments.
The DGCA May 7 suspended the firm’s operating permit after the home ministry raised security concerns. The government has also withdrew the security clearance of Ravi Rishi.
The Central Bureau of Investigation is currently probing the alleged role of Rishi, London-based Vectra Group’s chairperson, in connection with the multi-crore-rupee deal for the heavy-duty all-terrain Tatra trucks for the army and the bribery allegations made by army chief Gen. V.K. Singh.
