Sued for Rs 6 crore, actor Ravi Mohan asks Chennai production house to compensate for delay
CHENNAI: Actor Ravi Mohan has moved the Madras High Court seeking compensation from Bobby Touch Gold Universal Private Limited, a production company, for causing him huge loss of money by not utilising his call sheet days for the production of a movie. He filed the suit following one filed by the company seeking a direction to him to return the advance amount of Rs 6 crore. The matter came up for hearing before Justice Abdul Quddhose on Wednesday. Mohan stated that both sides agreed to commence the shooting for the first of the two films. Subsequently, he blocked his entire schedule from January 1, 2025. Even though he had blocked 80 continuous call sheet days from January 1 to March 21, he was forced to lose time due to delay in commencing production works, and so he is entitled to compensation, he stated. He sought the court to issue directions to attach the property of the company and prayed for directions to the company to furnish a security deposit of `9 crore until the suit is disposed of.

Madras High Court dismisses case against 181 grounds of TNCC land on Anna Salai in Chennai
The Madras High Court on Monday (July 7, 2025) dismissed as infructuous an application filed by a private company to restrain the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) Charitable Trust from disturbing its peaceful possession and enjoyment of 181 grounds of land next to Kamaraj Memorial Hall on Anna Salai in Chennai. Justice Abdul Quddhose passed the orders after the counsel representing Blue Pearl Development Private Limited submitted that the company had lost possession of the property when its application was pending adjudication before the High Court and therefore, nothing survived to be decided in the case. The application was filed in May this year under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act. It had sought to restrain TNCC Charitable Trust and its trustees E.M. Sudarsana Natchiappan, K. Selvaperunthagai, and R. Narayanan from interfering with the company's possession of the property until the conclusion of the arbitration proceedings. Then, filing an affidavit on behalf of the company, its managing director Haresh Chand Gordhandas said it was a special purpose vehicle (SPV) floated jointly by Skyhigh Builders and Heeral Constructions Private Limited to develop a commercial building at the Anna Salai property, popularly known as Congress grounds. He said that the two promoters of the SPV had entered into an agreement with the TNCC Charitable Trust on May 28, 1996, for developing the entire property in a ratio of 60:40, where 60% of the developed area would be reserved for the trust and the remaining for the developer. Subsequent to the execution of the development agreement, and after the payment of ₹3 crore, the trust handed over the land to the company, he claimed. Though the applicant company had obtained all requisite permissions for the development, the project could not be started because of hurdles in the gifting of 10% of the land by the trust to the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) for being maintained as Open Space Reserve (OSR) area. The trust could not pass a resolution for gifting the OSR land due to a change in the composition of trustees. In the meantime, the applicant company claimed to be in possession of the land for the last 29 years by renting out the premises for vehicle parking and other such purposes. It claimed that even the TNCC had obtained its permission in the past to use the property for parking vehicles. However, now efforts were being taken to dispossess the company, it said, seeking an interim protection.

HC nod for Turkish co to take inventory at city airport
Chennai: Madras high court has allowed Turkey-based company, Celebi Ground Services, to enter the Chennai airport premises for taking an inventory after getting prior approval from airport authorities. Justice Abdul Quddhose issued an interim order to this effect on Monday, on a petition filed by Celebi Ground Services Chennai Pvt Ltd, challenging cancellation of concession agreement by Airport Authority of India (AAI) following the cancellation of its security clearance by BCAS under ministry of civil aviation on May 26. When the plea came up for hearing, senior advocate P S Raman, representing the company, submitted that it had invested huge amounts of money in its equipment and software and that the AAI was attempting to appoint third parties who would exploit these instruments. The sudden cancellation of the agreement caused a huge financial loss to the company, and it was done due to vendetta, he added. He wanted the court to pass an interim injunction restraining the AAI from creating any third-party rights. Solicitor-general Tushar Mehta, representing AAI, submitted that it was necessary to appoint a third party for smooth functioning of the airport. To this, Raman informed the court that relief was granted by Bombay high court in a similar petition. Opposing the argument, Mehta submitted that the facts of the present case were different from those of the one pending before the Bombay HC. Recording the submissions, the court directed AAI to file counter to the petitions and adjourned hearing to July 7.

AAI seeks new handler at Chennai airport amid ongoing Çelebi's legal battle
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) informed the Madras High Court on Monday that it must appoint a new ground handling and cargo operator for Chennai International Airport, following the termination of Turkish firm Çelebi Airport Services India's contract over national security concerns. Appearing before Justice Abdul Quddhose, Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta said the airport requires a minimum of three ground handlers to maintain uninterrupted operations. With Çelebi's removal, the AAI is compelled to initiate a fresh tendering process to fill the operational gap, according to a report by Bar and Bench. However, the AAI clarified that any new appointment would be provisional and subject to the outcome of ongoing legal proceedings initiated by Çelebi in both the Madras and Delhi High Courts. The Turkish company is contesting the cancellation of its contracts at various Indian airports, as well as the underlying reason — the withdrawal of its security clearance by India's Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS). Çelebi contract terminated over security concerns The BCAS revoked Çelebi's clearance following geopolitical tensions, after Turkey expressed support for Pakistan during a recent four-day conflict with India. Çelebi has challenged this decision in multiple courts, including those in Bombay and Gujarat. HC allows AAI to proceed with new appointment The Madras High Court allowed the AAI to proceed with appointing a new ground handler, but only on a provisional basis, subject to the outcome of ongoing legal proceedings. The court permitted Çelebi to request an official inventory of its assets from the AAI. The court also ruled that either party could return to court if any of the undertakings, such as not using Çelebi's equipment or software, were violated. In addition to the ongoing proceedings in Chennai, Çelebi has filed a writ petition specifically challenging the revocation of its security clearance. The matter is listed for hearing on June 24. A parallel case related to the company's role at Delhi International Airport is under consideration by the Delhi High Court, where judgment has been reserved. The Madras High Court will resume hearing the original application concerning the Chennai airport contract on July 7.
