Jet-Etihad Airways deal: SC seeks Centre reply on Swamy's plea

New Delhi: The Supreme Court Tuesday sought Centre's response within four weeks on pleas by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy seeking Cabinet note concerning Jet-Etihad Airways deal and copy of the transcript of tapped telephonic conversation of former corporate lobbyist Niira Radia in which she had allegedly talked about civil aviation sector.

A bench comprising justices H L Dattu and S A Bobde asked Additional Solicitor General L Nageshwar Rao who accepted the notice on behalf of the Centre to file response on Swamy's application.

The bench also asked the Centre to respond to Swamy's plea seeking copy of communication of April 9, 2013 of Ministry of External Affairs to Ambassador of United Arab Emirates on the issue.

Swamy has filed petition seeking to quash the deal on the ground that it was against public interest as there has been squandering of natural resource i.E. The sky and air space.
