The Delhi High Court upheld the Centre's move to revoke security clearance for Turkey-based Celebi Airport Services, citing national security after Turkey condemned India’s anti-terror strikes. “Better safe than sorry,” Justice Sachin Datta remarked, as Celebi argued against the sudden action impacting its 17-year-long operations in India. Celebi employs over 10,000 people and handles flights at nine airports. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta stressed, “Security must be paramount,” adding airport operators have deep access to sensitive areas. The court adjourned the case to May 21, asking under which legal provision the clearance was revoked amid growing Indo-Turkish diplomatic tensions. (PC: NDTV)
