Turkish Company Çelebi Sues Modi Government After Security Clearance Revoked

New Delhi:Turkish airport ground handling company, Çelebi, has taken legal action against the Indian government after its security clearance was revoked without clear explanation. The company has filed a lawsuit in the Delhi High Court, challenging the Indian government’s decision, which was reportedly made on vague national security concerns.

According to global news agencies, the Turkish company, which provides ground handling services at Indian airports, was notified that its security clearance had been revoked due to “unclear national security threats.” However, the Indian government did not provide any detailed justification for the decision.

In its petition, Çelebi has argued that it is legally unacceptable for the company to suddenly be deemed a threat to national security without any clear explanation. The company demands to know the basis of this decision and how it suddenly became a danger to India’s national security.

The case has raised concerns regarding transparency in government decisions and the impact of such actions on foreign businesses operating in India. Çelebi’s legal challenge is expected to attract significant attention, particularly as it deals with issues of security clearances and the government’s authority over foreign companies.

This legal action is a significant development in the ongoing tensions between India and foreign firms operating in the country, especially when it comes to security protocols and government decisions that lack transparency.
