Hyderabad, March 13: The Centre informed the AP High Court that the process of commissioning of a new airport at Shamshabad had started almost a decade ago and the process was finalised in 2004. This included the provision to close the airport at Begumpet.
The assistant solicitor-general, Mr A Rajasekhar Reddy, submitted before a division bench comprising Justice B. Prakash Rao and Justice C.Y. Somayajulu that the Centre had issued a notification for the closure of Begumpet airport.
He told the court that the decision fell within the realm of a policy decision and was outside the scope of judicial review. Supreme Court senior counsel, Mr Abhishek Singhvi, and the additional attorney-general of India, Mr Sharan, will appear on behalf of GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited and the Union government on Thursday.
