Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) can appeal against judgments of the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) under Section 31 of the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India Act, 2008. The Court clarified that AERA, despite being a quasi-judicial body, has the right to file appeals, thereby affirming the maintainability of such appeals. This judgment establishes that regulatory bodies exercising adjudicatory functions are entitled to seek judicial review of appellate tribunal decisions.
