The Federation of Indian Airlines has moved the Supreme Court challenging an order of telecom tribunal over the principles for determination of aeronautical tariff in respect of airport operators.
The Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA) has challenged the July 1 order of the Telecommunications Dispute Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) saying the tribunal while passing the order has "gravely erred" in going far beyond the limited scope of remand directed by this court.
It said the tribunal has reopened and readjudicated issues relating to the computation of Hypothetical Regulatory Asset Base (HRAB), which had already attained finality by apex court's verdict dated July 11, 2022.
The FIA has filed an intervention application in pending matters where the two operators of Delhi and Mumbai airports, the DIAL and MIAL, have challenged the tribunal's order.
"The impugned judgment not only suffers from legal error but also has grave financial consequences. By inflating HRAB to Rs .

The Congress on Saturday downplayed the victory of the BJP in the Thiruvananthapuram municipal corporation, saying no amount of spin can take away from the reality that there is a UDF wave in Kerala and it will be decisively repeated in the 2026 Assembly polls.
AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, who hails from Kerala, termed the BJP's claim of its surge in Kerala as "laughable".
Interestingly, his remarks came after Congress Lok Sabha MP from Thiruvananthapuram Shashi Tharoor congratulated the BJP for the "historic performance" in the city corporation  and said "the people's verdict must be respected, whether for the UDF overall or for the BJP in my constituency".
In a post on X, Tharoor said he campaigned for a change from 45 years of the LDF "misrule", but the voters have ultimately rewarded another party that also sought a clear change in governance. "That is the beauty of democracy. The people's verdict must be respected, whether for the UDF overall or for the BJP in my ...

Mahendra Singh Dhoni was an established India star even before Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma were born.
They were literally in their nappies when the legend of 'Captain Cool' was taking shape during those formative years of the Indian Premier League.
But if they put hands on their hearts, neither the 19-year-old keeper-batter Kartik nor the 20-year-old left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Veer would have thought that by Tuesday evening, they would jointly walk into the record books with bank-breaking deals of Rs 14.20 crore from Chennai Super Kings.
More enticing than that is the opportunity of a lifetime to share the dressing room with none other than Dhoni, already 44 and still going strong.
Whether keeper Kartik will get a look-in when Sanju Samson and Dhoni can don the big gloves or if Veer can be groomed as a long-term replacement of Ravindra Jadeja is a matter of debate. But Chennai Super Kings have displayed a clever switch in philosophy looking at the future when Ruturaj ...
