P. C. :

¶16

The crystal which emerges for the prolix pleadings in the instant Public Interest Litigation is that on 04.04.2006 an Operation Management and Development Agreement was executed between Respondent Nos.4 and 5. The same had a Clause 2.6.3 which permitted Carved Out Assets to be further allocated by Respondent No.4 to Respondent No.5 if required to provide aeronautical services or

developing and/or constructing any aeronautical assets. In exercise of said covenant between the parties a Supplemental Lease Deed was executed on 15.05.2009 wherein 43.98 acres Carved Out Asset land was demised by Respondent No.4 in favour of Respondent No.5.

¶20

The grievance of the Petitioner is that Respondent No.5 is intending to use the additional land for a non-aeronautical purpose.

¶21

In the written submission filed by Respondent No.5, it is stated that the said Respondents shall not use the land for construction/development of GVK Skycity and the land demised on 15.05.2009 would be used strictly for aeronautical purpose.

¶22

We bind Respondent No.5 to it’s stand.

The Public Interest Litigation is disposed of.
