A bench of justices Cyriac Joseph and A K Patnaik set aside the policy of airport developers by which passengers departing from Delhi airport had to pay a fee of Rs 200 for domestic flights and Rs 1,300 for international flights while fliers departing from Mumbai were charged Rs 100 for domestic and Rs 600 for international flights.
The bench set aside the Delhi high court's order which had upheld levying of ADF.
The court passed the order on a petition filed by the NGO, Consumer Online Foundation, contending that the fee was illegal, as it was not approved by Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of
