Indu Sky made an application in the District Court of Colombo, seeking an enjoining order against Air India days prior to the expiration of the GSA Contract, to prevent the latter from appointing a new GSA and this enjoining order was refused on 26 March.

Aggrieved by the refusal of the enjoining order in the District Court, Indu Sky filed an application invoking the restitutio in integrum jurisdiction of the Court of Appeal under the Constitution.

Indu Sky obtained interim relief from the Court of Appeal after having supported the Application ex parte.

Air India was successful in their application as the interim orders issued against Air India were set aside. It is now proceeding with its operation in Sri Lanka under a newly appointed GSA
