The apex court issued notices to the Centre, ministries and departments concerned, Jet Airways and United Arab Emirate's Etihad Airways on the petition challenging the deal and sought their responses within four weeks.
A bench comprising Chief Justice P Sathasivam and Ranjan Gogoi said it will not straightaway pass any order and would seek Centre's response on it.
"We have to consider your petition. We cannot pass any order.
“We will issue notice. Let them file the reply," the bench said.
The bench also took note of Swamy's reply to its question that there was no response from the Prime Minister on the issue when he had made a representation before him.
Before passing the order, the bench also said it had gone through Swamy's petition and spent more than an hour on it.
During the brief hearing, Swamy submitted that the deal was against public interest as there has been squandering of natural resource i.e. the sky and air space.
He claimed that the deal was cleared against the advice of the Parliament Select Committee and other advisory bodies.
Swamy also submitted that even the CAG has found that there has been reckless allocation of air space to foreign airlines.
The nine respondents to whom notices have been issued are the Centre, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry
