Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether minutes of a meeting can override statutory regulations under the Airport Authority of India Act, 1994. The Court held that statutory provisions, specifically Section 22(i)(a) of the AAI Act, which governs the charging of fees for landing and parking, cannot be overridden by decisions made in meetings. The appeal by Delhi International Airport Limited against the High Court's order allowing the writ petition of International Lease Finance Corporation was dismissed, affirming the High Court's stance on the primacy of statutory regulations over informal agreements.
