New Delhi: Anil Ambani-owned Reliance Airport Developers today (Apr 21, 2006) suffered a setback with the Delhi High Court today upholding the government's decision to allot Delhi and Mumbai airports' modernisation work to rival bidders GMR and GVK led consortia.

Dismissing the Reliance petition, a Bench, comprising Justice Tirath Singh Thakur and Justice B N Chaturvedi, held that the government's action was in no way discriminatory, illogical or illegal.

However, the Bench at the request of the Reliance counsel ordered that the two consortia would not claim any equity or implement the contract during the next two weeks so as to enable the petitioner file an appeal in the Supreme Court.
